Heaping Stones

Wandering half drunk through his shattered life in his native Long Beach, California, an all-but-failed writer searches for no less than redemption through his relationships with three women and ultimately his on-going battle with himself. Pushed to the edge of his sanity by both the sorrow and beauty of his life, he finally rips his world up by the roots and examines the truth behind his pain. Alternately tender and angry, this book takes off where John Fante and Charles Bukowski left off and set the new standard for the L.A. Novel.
