Roomies

Roomies is the story of Rodney Stiles, a young man who is struggling to be a writer and an adult. When Rod’s ill-advised marriage falls apart, he finds himself living on his own for the first time—like a little boy, whose mother leaves one day and never returns home. Roomies is a black comedy; it explores the seedier side of life, taking the reader on a tour of drinking, drugs, bars, bikers, and books. The cast of characters is hilarious and ribald, including surreptitious strippers; a harried magazine editor; nymphomaniac twin sisters; and a motley bunch of dopers, drug dealers, and thieves. Rod realizes that if he is ever to be happy, he must escape the clutches of a series of raucous roommates ... and in the end, will he find redemption in his family or will his tale end in tragedy?
