Brad S, Horwin's life is a string of impossible beach bungalows at Belmar, physchotropic experiments at Ohio U., the electric highs of Plato's Retreat and Studio 54, and a string of small-time grifts and dangerous romances that double as rites of passage, From the burn scar that reshapes his body and ego to the adolescent bravado that becomes decades of appetite. The brutally honest voice of someone who's tasted everything and still wants to know what he missed.
