| Publisher Description: Three teenage runaways - na ve Danny Fisher, street savvy Bobby Boyd, and Bobby's delusional artist brother James Boyd - form a wildly dysfunctional familial bond. They dream, plot, and scheme to escape their misfit world through crime (a poorly planned robbery of valuable comic books), art (James is convinced his unsuccessful career as a graffiti artist will propel him to Hollywood fame), and a little help from a clown's car full of deposed Ping-Pong champions, fat junkies, washed-up boxers, midgets, aging Nazis, and enigmatic movie stars... The boys struggle to comprehend the world around them - but that becomes increasingly impossible as they fall deeper and deeper into their own alternate world of petty crime, booze, drugs, and wildly politically incorrect misunderstandings. Sort of like an urban Lord of the Flies - but with better jokes. |
