Review
A unique utopia peopled by loveable grotesques and superqueeroes alike, Roulette is wryly innocent and intensely satirical. A wonderfully rollicking and pointed read. --Kathleen Bryson, author of Girl on a Stick
Outrageous! Hilarious! In-yer-face! --Richard Schneider, The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide
Since I'm the true star of this book, I think it oughta have me on the cover or, at least, have my name in the title. Whatever happened to old-fashioned courtesy and Goddess worship? --Gwendelynne Faye Smith, Icon and Star
Product Description
Roulette is a joyous and iconoclastic David-and-Goliath tale of outsiders taking on the establishment. Greedy real-estate developers, right-wing Christians and sleazy (Republican) politicos find themselves up against artists, gays, nomads, and over-the-top residents of a shantytown that gains national identity when they refuse to budge to make way for their bulldozers. The town's zany residents include a bald duck, an obsessive-compulsive fat lady who always wears yellow, and a gorgeous Marilyn Monroe-like accident-prone sexpot. As the novel unfolds and the small outpost named Roulette moves from being off the beaten path to front and center of a Presidential election, something quixotic but magical about the nature of America is revealed.
