Johnny, est-ce que tu m'aimerais si j'avais une plus grosse bite ?

Brand new book from the acclaimed author of Fag School and The Cruising Diaries!

Purnell offers part case study and part (fictional) Scene Report on the incidentals and consequences of hipster life from the viewpoint of a young man in crisis. He's a slut. He's a nerd. He's a working class hero. He's an American waiter, often bored at work.

His friends are leaving the party and leaving the city, and he doesn't trust the new breed of fags taking over. They wear bicycle helmets; they wear seat belts; they wear condoms. Subsequently, they will have nothing to do with him (and vice-versa, really). He sabotages meaningless relationships to free himself to hallucinate affection in late night park cruising, bath-houses, and other nooks and crannies of a ruined and newly conservative city.

He compartmentalizes his everyday struggles in a series of dissertations on subjects including (but sure as fuck not limited to) creative writing, STD hysteria, junkie lovers, Punk Rock, experimental dance, tour diaries, witchcraft, marijuana, and the pitfalls of restaurant work. He wrote it down in his diary as it happened. He saw the future and knew that in 20 years he wouldn't want to be bothered with trying to remember.
