Not Fade Away

Floorboard George Gastin is part of an insurance scam to wreck a pure white, mint condition ’59 Cadillac originally intended for The Big Bopper as a token of an admirer’s love. But Floorboard George has other ideas and when he disappears with the car, gangsters and cops are soon in hot pursuit. On the road, the crazy characters, hitch-hikers and demented preachers he meets provide the high-octane entertainment as George covers many miles — and states of mind — in his quest to find the true spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.

The Guardian * expect your brain cells to be frazzled by the funk and fervour of his prose. The Herald * Man, we're on the road again! Big fun! Time Out
