Finished Mo 5/8/23- My first audiobook and I downloaded from the library and listened to it via Hoopla.
I watched Sam Tallent on J.R.E a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still surprised about how funny his book is.
I loved listening to this book walking through Washington Park and I would love to own this novel because Tallent is a REAL writer. His descriptions are delightful!
From the book's page at Amazon:
"Debauched, divorced and courting death, Billy Ray Schafer is a comedian who has forgotten how to laugh. Over the course of seven spun-out days across the American Southwest, he travels from from hell gig to hell gig in search of a reason to keep living in this bleak and violent glimpse into the psyche of a thoroughly ruined man. Ex-inmate, ex-husband, ex-father - comedian is the only title Schafer has left. Trapped in the wreckage of his wasted career, Billy Ray knows the answer to the question: what happens when the opportunity doesn’t come - or worse - it comes and goes?"
I plan to listen to more audiobooks from the library in the future.
