Force Majeure

This smashing debut novel is the first of a projected quartet, the "Scriptures," chronicling the misadventures and transcendental fall & rise - comic, tragic, tragicomic - of one Bud Wiggins, Quixote of Babylon. Wiggins dreams of achieving fame as a screenwriter. (He almost made it!) Instead, he finds himself free-falling through a world of hallucinate absurdity, low comedy, and epic degradation. A Hollywood bottom-feeder who moonlights as a limo driver to pay the bills, both tormented and vicariously aroused by his contact with the industry's elite, Bud bears poignant, paranoid witness to the horror and hysteria that are by-products of "the Business" in picaresque, pornographic & poetic fashion.
