Wish List

By Gerry LaFemina

"There are 1001 reasons to read Gerry LaFemina's masterful stories about addicts, jacked-up families, ad hoc dance clubs, barely sane vinyl record collectors, angry nerds, gamblers, and love - both stunted and verdant. You'll encounter unforgettable characters drawn with just the right shadow, just the right light; you'll love the descriptive passages that only an adept poetic sensibility could write; you'll be conveyed smoothly by the El Dorado narrative pace. But amid all the technical virtuosity, there is the boy-in-black punch of the bass, the fevered slam-dance of drums, the burn of a Fender Stratocaster. This is Punk in short story form, and it ought to serve as a corrective for the misinformed as to what Punk is and what it just never can be. These stories are no mere Pop tunes that harass the memory like salad bar gnats. This is the bona fide stuff, real Punk, unchained, full-throated, and smoking."
