Publisher Description
Explore the remarkable life of Kinky Friedman, an authentic American pioneer whose unbridled imagination and resoluteness will have a lasting impact on the arts, literature, and politics. From his troubled youth in Texas's music scene to his daring bid for governor and illustrious mystery writing career, this riveting biography transports readers to every moment of Kinky's life.
As a member of the band The Texas Jewboys, Kinky Friedman first gained notoriety for his audacious social criticism, caustic lyrics, and quick wit. In addition to being entertaining, his music was a daring message that pushed limits and challenged norms. Here, you can rediscover the thrilling times of Kinky's career as a musician and hear the songs that became classics for rebellious youth who weren't afraid to speak their minds.
Kinky smoothly moved from music to writing, penning a string of mystery thrillers that enthralled readers with their vibrant characters, wit, and intrigue. Immerse yourself in the adventures of the fictitious detective Kinky as he delves into the murky and occasionally comical realm of crime, mirroring the author's distinct perspective on the paradoxes and eccentricities of human nature.
