I just finished reading a copy that Katrin Niemann gave me of The Fan Man, the story of Horse Badorties, a stoned hippie musician in New York, man, whose life is made impossible by the landlord and those puerto ricans and their lousy music. Dig this, Maestro Badorties is assembling the Love Chorus, getting 15 year old busted-up strung-out Lower East Side loser chicks to sing beautiful music.
What a refreshing and unique piece of art! Written in the way our stoned protagonist thinks, it had me laughing out loud several times, making people in trams look at me funny. It took me a while to appreciate the condition of hero of Badorties but right now he's, along with James Bond, one of my favorites.
Highly recommended read.
