San Francisco’s underground unleashes a wild tempest of melancholy and psychodrama on an unsuspecting world. Poets, drag queens, performance artists, musicians, and strippers wander in and out of a yearlong hangover through seedy nightclubs, all-night basement parties, and unexpected revelations. The hapless narrator’s evolving relationship with a serious girlfriend combines with deep self-understanding and pain to reveal something true amid the chaos.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A psychedelic rave-up of a novel,
This review is from: Wake Up and Smell The Beer (Paperback)
It might help you to follow the narrative of this novel composed of weird anecdotal episodes if you've altered your consciousness at some point in your life because this book doesn't have a traditional plot line... but there's definitely a story here. Often laugh out loud funny and sometimes just plain creepy and gross, Longhi can turn a phrase on a dime.
