When the love of Jim's life, Ellie, died shortly after giving birth to their daughter Kristen, Jim drowned his sorrows in a sea of booze in some of Los Angeles's seediest bars, while leaving his sister Misty to raise his infant. Once Jim finally came home and sobered up, he wrote a book on his experiences, Becoming Bukowski, that became a cult classic.Two decades later, with his book still in print, Jim is well-off, uninspired, and self-absorbed. When his frequent headaches morph into more serious symptoms, Jim learns he has a slow growing brain tumor. The news motivates Jim to write a sequel to his classic in hopes of cementing his legacy as more than a one-hit wonder. He returns to LA to resume a life of debauchery, but as his symptoms worsen, Jim becomes tormented by unexplainable visions of dead wife Ellie and abandons his drunken reboot.

Cowboy Jamboree Pressgood grit lit. Praise for J.D. Clapp and Grit Before Grace "Since releasing A Good Man Goes South, JD Clapp has rapidly ascended to become Indie Lit's Poet Laureate of ne'er-do-wells and down-and-outs, gear-chuckers and poachers, meth heads and murderers. Here, he follows a has-been writer drowning in booze and past failures and the haunting memory of his long-deceased wife as he tries to chase down one last story before a terminal diagnosis does him in. In Grit Before Grace, Clapp expands the rough-cut world of his poetry and short fiction to offer a debut novel that's part meta-narrative, part travelogue, yet delivered whole by the unvarnished observations that have consistently defined his work." -Jonathan Danielson, author of The Lowest Basin: Arizona Stories "In Grit Before Grace, Jim Jackson is a novelist facing many demons, forever chasing the success of his first book that paid tribute to the late great grit writer, Charles Bukowski. Jackson seems destined to follow in Bukowski's footsteps with his hard-drinking lifestyle, until he's faced with his own mortality, leading him on a path of self-discovery and making amends for the carnage of his past. At times a meditative road trip with a cast of characters and adventures, J.D. Clapp's effortless prose is like settling into the cab of an old truck, taking a long drag of a grit, and living in the poems of Bukowski's What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire. For fans of grit lit, Bukowski, and walking well through the fires, Grit Before Grace is a ride you don't want to miss!" -Sabrina Hicks, author of Coyote Girl "With Grit Before Grace, Clapp has given us an exceptionally haunted novel. Ghosts of love, failure, and fatherhood demand a rise to action or a continued life of performance for a man in bed with self-destruction. Jim Jackson is a character destined to live forever in the Grit Lit canon." -Sheldon Lee Compton, author of The Old Invisible "JD Clapp has proven himself a master of American realism, crafting stories that unfold like hushed conversations at the end of a bar. In his debut novel, he delivers that same emotional force with a deft tenderness, introducing a protagonist as flawed as he is deeply compelling. With unflinching honesty and grace, Clapp offers a powerful, heartfelt portrait of a man wrestling with his choices, and striving to make peace with the life he's lived." -Dan Russell, author of Poor Birds This it Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "BURN is filled with beautiful losers covered in scars of their own making. And yet it also finds hope in the dark places, both real and in the mind. A stunning, assured, and risky debut."-Tod Goldberg, New York Times bestselling authorThe Mountains. 1999. Shannon Story returns to college from winter break, happy because she has an escape plan for her mother who is trapped in an abusive marriage. Instead of salvation, Shannon finds herself facing extreme fire conditions: her car breaks down on the side of the road, her would-be boyfriend abandons her, and the unusually dry winter in the mountains shows no sign of letting up. When she meets the hotshot, a wildland firefighter, on the night of her 21st birthday, she thinks maybe this is the guy who will save her. To no one's surprise (except maybe Shannon's) he sends her into the mother of all downward spirals putting at risk her remaining relationships: Daniel, her best friend and emotional boyfriend; Rebecca, her sex-crazed roommate; Adrian, her struggling artist friend and Daniel's roommate; and finally, her mother, whose refusal to recognize her own pathology will not just sink herself, but her daughter. After the last cigarette goes out and the party blows up, Shannon is forced to make a choice: the life her mother (un/knowingly) conditioned her to accept or the life she can live on her own terms but only if she faces a reckoning of the painful codependent cycle she's been living inside. "BURN is gritty, pretty and real, highly entertaining-like a 'beach read, ' only if the beach were a good dive bar, BURN is a novel to sink into and enjoy every moment." -Monica Drake, author of Clown Girl "Clear your calendar: once you pick up BURN, you won't put it down until the final, aching word. In Shannon, Stephanie Austin has created an antiheroine for the ages, a young woman equally bent on self-destruction and surviving any way she can. I saw parts of myself in her I didn't want to see, and I couldn't look away." -Jennifer Wortman, author of This. This. This. Is. Love. Love. Love. "Stephanie Austin's BURN is a raw, unforgettable debut novel that ignites from the first page and never lets go. Step into Shannon's chaotic world-a gritty, heartbreaking journey that doubles as a love letter to the 90s. These characters will steal your heart, break it, and make you laugh through the tears. Austin's writing is fearless and devastatingly beautiful, cementing her place among today's most powerful voices. BURN doesn't just tell a story-it consumes you, leaving you scorched and begging for more. This is a debut ready to set the literary world ablaze." -Danny Goodman, author of Amerikaland "In BURN, Austin jolts the reader into the mind of Shannon, a lonely young woman whose every attempt at connection leaves her more isolated than before. Set in the grimy and hypnotic world of 90's college-age partying, Burn asks how anyone raised amid sexualized violence can ever escape its patterns, even when they recognize them. A heartbreaking novel, BURN will leave a reader singed but ultimately hopeful for women who must navigate the world with a smashed compass." -Amanda Bales author of Pekolah Stories "Stephanie Austin's BURN is a gripping and unforgettable journey of transformation. Austin weaves a powerful tale of passion and survival, as flames of change threaten to consume everything. One woman is pushed to the brink as relationships ignite and collapse, as her courage is tested and she must reshape her one destiny. With vivid storytelling and emotional intensity, BURN delves into the heart of what it means to endure and rise from the ashes." -Brittany Ackerman, autho Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …
