Gary Benchley, Rock Star by Paul Ford

Paul Ford is Gary Benchley. (Google it to see what I mean.) This novel came about by way of one helluva hoax. I was totally sucked in (as were hundreds of others). Mr. Ford is an editor for Harpers, and he's a phenomenal writer. The novel: the life and hard times of a wannabe indie rocker named Gary. The best part is when Gary has groupie sex with a woman who, on morning light, turns out to have a wooden foot, and a massive collection of "Left Behind" novels. She witnesses to Gary, over their awkward one-night-stand-next-morning breakfast, and things get very funny from there.

Enjoy!… (more)
