From the back cover: "Like nearly all of Blasini's writing, the novel OF MEN AND
MAGGOTS is a thinly fictionalized autobiography, filled with a cast made of the
author's real life friends, lovers, and fellow travelers. Narrated by John
Poston, one of Blasini's alter-egos, OF MEN AND MAGGOTS is a cross-country
odyssey that brings out the junkies, hoodlums, prostitutes, sexual perverts,
and thieves crawling in the back alleys of the world. OF MEN AND MAGGOTS
composes a very tough, yet very funny narrative of two friend's adventures with
drugs, homelessness, and lifeless romance.
OF MEN AND MAGGOTS is hard, derisive, inventive, comical,
serious, poetic, and ineradicably American - a fast paced, quirky work in which
you are not permitted to laugh and yet, at times, will find yourself doing so."
People have inquired what is it like. Like? I answer, if Gus Van Sant raped David Lynch in the ass while reading Kerouac's On The Road, this novel would be the result.
Enjoy!
