Dandruff

by Alex Branson

Dandruff is a book I wrote over the course of the last two years. It is 67,000 words long. Like most books, it is about problems.

At the end of August 2011, I got arrested for drunk driving. It was the logical end of a post-graduation summer. I lost a lot of money and moved back in with my parents in St. Louis, Missouri. I got a job at a hotel and quit drinking.

I took a scant ~30 page narrative of mine that was relatively aimless and worked to turn it into a book. I wrote it to get better. I think it is good enough for people to read it.

The book primarily takes place over a four year stretch focusing on a loose cabal of young adult friends that are bad for each other. A grown man managing a sperm bank ejaculates everywhere. A suicide survivor gets obsessed with narratives. A woman enjoys sitting down in the shower. A punk rock band tries to upstage a goat.

My name is Alex Branson and this is the first book that I have written. My work has been put up on some online literary journals.
