The Price of the Ticket

Summary: Red Meat Served with Sad Joy
Review: In spirited, delicious prose rich with keenly imaginative simile and metaphor and sparkling with amused irony, Jim Nisbet tells us the story of several members of San Francisco's misfit class, all of whom are hanging onto the edge. The backstory and understory help rush things along from surprise to surprise. All this energy is wrapped in a gorgeous dust jacket by Zap Comix star, S. Clay Wilson. If you like red meat served with sad joy and sliced with a razor, and you're ready to pay the price of the ticket, join Pauley and Martin and Celeste and the rest as they fall off the torture rack into the fire.
