Publisher Description
I had a lot of jobs in Los Angeles Harbor because our family was poor and my father was dead. My first job was ditchdigging a short time after I graduated from high school. Every night I couldn’t sleep from the pain in my back. We were digging an excavation in an empty lot, there wasn’t any shade, the sun came straight from a cloudless sky, and I was down in that hole digging with two huskies who dug with a love for it, always laughing and telling jokes, laughing and smoking bitter tobacco.

A vivid imagination
Delve into the imaginings of an eccentric kid full of wild insecurities and big ideas about impossibly small things. The inert takes on life within the synapses of a protagonist twice removed from a distant fictional cousin and yet these thoughts are plain to see and relate with by way of playful prose.
