Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A hair-raising, manic mission with a gang of thirteen would-be guerillas who have a score to settle.

A bunch of Portland winos are on a mission....and this time it's war. Their dark and perilous campaign ceaselessly picks up speed until it takes on a runaway life of its own, transformed by a desperate momentum: once paralyzed rage burns down a bookstore (Powells) and hi-jacks a commuter train; isolation and fear forces blood, encounters with skinheads, crips and postal workers. A history, of long-disappointed desire becomes a symphony of lurid and hilarious catharsis, building relentlessly to a dizzying conclusion.

The somewhat tired genre of sex and violence never appeared so vital.
