Jack Tripper Stole My Dog is the comedic, existentialist journey about Ivan, a Russian-born taxi driver from Brooklyn and how he mismanaged the triumvirate of women in his life: his wife, his daughter, and his lover. His struggles are not much like your own -- his life included a long history of lying, cheating, gossiping, infidelity, hijinks, incest, war, John Lennon murder conspiracies, suicide attempts, a bizarre and sick love triangle, turmoil, redemption, personal reflection, torture, murder, revenge and more redemption. The characters are a mixture of scorned lovers, psycho stalkers, literate pugnacious lesbians, Bill Gates, serial killers, the KGB, canine tossing, an Ecstasy-popping Hollywood director, a drug-peddling Mossad Agent, trans-gender pornogrpahy, date rapists, the Russian mafia, nefarious hippie bands, more junkies and drunks that you can shake a stick at, trick-turning Catholic high school girls, Jesus Freaks, swinging Upper East Side housewives, Internet disinformation, a trannie hot dog vendor, a heroin-smuggling minister, and of course, the CIA.

Another Dark & Dirty City Heard From,
By
This review is from: Jack Tripper Stole My Dog (Paperback)
If you love New York City, you will love Jack Tripper Stole My Dog. If you hate New York City, you will love Jack Tripper Stole My Dog. But NYC is just the gritty backdrop to a truly fascinating collection of character studies from the dirty underside of life. Much like his previous novel "Lost Vegas," Pauly has spent far too much time with these cranked up characters, which means we get to see and hear them in all their gory glory. Who knows what the experience does to the author but we can reap the benefits without actually touching the disease. Well worth the read. I wonder which city comes next on the Paul McGuire Hit Parade?

This review is from: Jack Tripper Stole My Dog (Paperback)
Talk about deviant...Ivan is one messed up dude who you can't help but love...and pity at the same time. A real fun, fast paced read about NYC in 2002 from the eyes of a Russian taxi driver who has seen and done it all. Well written and funny, sad, exciting, depressing...and that's on every page.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Read,

This review is from: Jack Tripper Stole My Dog (Paperback)
If you are into tales that lean toward the seedier side, this is a book for you. Paul McGuire is like a new age Charles Bukowski, mixed with some Hunter S. Thompson and contemporary writers like Irvine Welsh and/or Chuck Palahniuk mixed in for good measure.
The book is about Russian-born, Brooklyn immigrant Ivan and his messed up life. Without giving away too much, McGuire blends Ivan's life with chapters about the people Ivan meets as a cab and limo driver in NYC. The book takes place in 2002, just after 9/11, which adds some color and context to the story. I couldn't put this book down and finished it in a few days. Enjoy!
