Strange

"The unlikely father of Miami crime fiction." --Atlantic Monthly

The question wasn't what is the best place to pick up women in Miami. It wasn't what was the easiest place either. The big question the three friends discussed was what was the most difficult place to pick up women in 1970's Miami. When the expert of the group, Hank, takes on the challenge his friends propose, things quickly go from bad to worse in this classic novella by Charles Willeford, dubbed "the Pope of Psychopulp" by The Village Voice.

"Quirky is the word that always comes to mind. Willeford wrote quirky books about quirky characters, and seems to have done so with a magnificent disregard for what anyone else thought." --Lawrence Block

"I'm not really breaking the genre, just bending it a bit." --Charles Willeford
