"Season of Gene"

Thanks to the fantastictabulous Lux Lotus, who gave me an autographed copy, I just finished reading "Season of Gene" by Dallas Hudgens. The book is a mercurial romp through baseball, video games, crime, pills, love, mobbed up memorabilia, more pills and extortion. Hudgens' swift stylings are infectious as is his humor. Tenderness alternating with violent bizness make for a pattern that keeps you turning da' pages. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading his "Drive Like Hell". Pick it up or give it to someone for the holidays.
