Couchwarmer: A Laundromat Adventure

by Greg Kramer

Born with ambiguous gender, Cherry Beach's careening life trajectory has involved recreating him/herself many times and living on an endless succession of other peoples' couches. As another year draws to a close with a new crisis looming, Cherry trips across an improbable cache of winning lottery tickets that seems an answer to her prayers, propelling her into a mad slalom of greed which quickly attracts the denziens of her through-the-looking-glass nightclub demi-monde. By turns incredibly funny and deeply disturbing, Couchwarmer is a celebration of chaos, a riveting rollercoaster ride into a landscape of the 'acid Baroque.'

Its about a hermaphrodite. Funny, heartbreaking and powerful. Greg Kramer (aka Screed on Forever Knight the tv show) knows how to create strong characters with layers up the wazoo.
