"I don't mind being a man of the people - not if it'll help me sell albums and score pussy", July 27, 2015 This review is from: Call Me Pomeroy: A Novel of Satire and Political Dissent (Kindle Edition) Purchased after receiving promotional email from author Most books whose authors solicit reviews are nothing special. This, on the other hand, is a work not to be missed - I was laughing out loud through most of it. Narrated by one Eddie Beasley, who prefers the name Pomeroy as it has 'class, style and strut', it follows his escapades after getting out of jail. A trip to Oakland leads to him getting mixed up with a load of protesters - but Pomeroy's preoccupations throughout are women and releasing a record. ("Hell, a f***er can't do concerts if he's stuck in Guantanamo Bay. The place is fulla Arabs who don't listen to nothin' but lutes".) Nonetheless, he gets caught up in a number of incidents, including taking control of a ferry, attacking a few cops with his guitar and meeting a feminist girl band - presumably based on 'Pussy Riot' - in Paris. Pomeroy's comments on his prowess with the opposite sex are constant and lurid (though entirely in his dreams), and he tends to refer to himself in the third person ("Hell, I wouldn't kick ol' Hillary outta bed even if she does have thick ankles. Pomeroy likes 'em feisty.") Very very funny indeed. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Pomeroy, a towering street musician on parole, is out of the clink for the upteenth time and wants to become another Bob Dylan. With fame and fortune in mind, he heads to Occupy Oakland, hoping to get on television, attract an agent, and score a million dollar contract for Ants in My Pants, his marathon ditty. Pomeroy is a skirmish-loving, dumpster-diving, narcissistic crazy who thinks he can sing like Pavarotti and that all women want to jump his bones. His parole officer, a street-smart Hispanic woman, tells Pomeroy to quit looking at her alligator pumps and to get himself a real plan. But Pomeroy has schemes of his own and more wisdom than we'd like to admit. You may find his egocentric opinions politically incorrect. ("There ain't a dyke alive ol' Pomeroy can't turn straight.") You may find yourself laughing when you shouldn't. ("A good strong piss is better 'an sex. Lasts longer too."). But don't blame yourself if you start rooting for this anti-hero. You'll have lots of company. (Note: Adult language and situations.) Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
