Frank is a memoir of mayhem from Rip Lopusnak, born and raised in North Arlington, New Jersey, and hardwired for mischief. A lifelong prankster with a PhD in screwing around, Rip lays out a collection of true, barely-believable short stories from his 53 years (and counting) of glorious chaos. Raised in a house equal parts loving and batshit, he survived art school, hunted sharks from shore, and somehow landed a career designing toys for children while battling every flavor of addiction under the sun.
This first volume of Frank includes car-flipping, explosions, poo-dollars, phone inking, drug benders, corpse discoveries, rhino calves, dynamite, chimp funerals, corporate puking, metal-detector warfare, and the kind of friends you’d commit a felony for. Or with.
And that’s just Volume 1. A real halfassgenius, as his father once labeled him.
