A comic and poignant fictional memoir detailing the fallout of the Sixties in central Alabama. Nash is a likable, talented, and disenchanted kid whose attempts to make a living and a life interfere with his yearning to be a writer. He has a gift for attracting bizarre friends, lovers and events. We walk the streets with him, share the music of the times, and try to make sense of the world through his eyes. This is a coming of age story in the best sense of the phrase -- a forceful evisceration of traditional values to be replaced with -- what? Nash wrestles with the previous generation while experiencing the best and worst of his own. For anyone who lived through those unique times, this book feels like a real life flashback. Those who didn't may wish they had or thank the tanglings of karma that they didn't.
