Steve Abee

I don't remember where I picked this one, but I've been carrying it around for a quarter century. Maybe APEcon? Does anybody remember APEcon? I've probably moved at least five times since buying King Planet and it would get lost in boxes for years along the way. Well, we finally ended up on the same page, so to speak, and I have to say, I really dig were Abee was coming from. I hope he's still at it. The short stories in this book illuminated the day-to-day inhabitants of an LA that is show more probably a memory now, but damn! In the footsteps of Fante, Bukowski, Brewer, D. Boon... show less

Junkie book about a junkie written as far the reader could tell by someone who has gotten wasted way too often. Parts of it are really funny, but a bizarre book none the less.
