Impressive collection of minimalist characters that have soul and a lot to say. Uncouth at times to bring realism into view. Nothing wild, but full of heart. This book is underrated; an indie gem

4.5 stars. Took a chance but I love good flash fiction and this is exactly what I wanted. Unsettling, hasty, gut-punching, salivating for more, knowing it’s not up to the author anymore. Nice book.

A different type of music memoir, with some scholarly introspection and many photos of various bands. Very definitive.
