Description

An award-winning author and playwright strikes the open-road for a searing book-in-characters in regards to a block child on the high-stakes journey across America.For a runaway child who passes the title "Punkzilla," throwing a meth practice and a life of petty crime in Portland, Oregon, is just a prelude to some objective: reconnecting together with his older brother, a gay man dying of melanoma in Memphis. Against a background of dicey coach channels, seedy hotels, and married rides, the eager fourteen-year-old meets a colourful, occasionally harmful cast of heroes. And in words to his brother, he catalogues all of them — from a girl and a violent stranger to some type transsexual and a classic lady by having an oozing attention. The language is natural and revealing, crackling with black laughter and visceral particulars, with each interstate leave Punkzilla’s trip develops more immediate however: may he allow it to be to Tennessee over time?
