Description

"Julip" is the story of a bright and resourceful young woman of our times and the mixed horror and pleasure of much older lovers. It is about the recovery rather than the loss of innocence. "The Seven-Ounce Man" continues the adventures of Brown Dog, a Michigan scoundrel and an ex-Bible student with criminal tendencies who loves to eat, drink, and chase women. A dazzling hopscotch through the mind and life of a testosterone-ridden North Woods malcontent, this is a picaresque view of a man who sails along in the bottom ten percent. "The Beige Dolorosa" deals with the regeneration of a man destroyed by one of the latest of our national insanities, political correctness. Phillip Caulkins is excommunicated from an academic world that resembles the cell structure of political life in Cuba, and finds solace in the ordinary life of incomprehension and in the discovery of the natural world.
