Read Now Download Now
In the crumbling SoCal beach town of No Palms, Chip Rock has aged out of the pathetic orphanage known as Boys Hall and sets out to find a meaningful place in the world. Aimless and quick with bad choices, Chip meets an outcast butcher named Deacon O’Dell, sparking an unlikely bond and an adventure of stunning hardships, but with a remote chance for rejuvenation. CHIP ROCK and the FAT OLD FART tells the story of the comic and poignant friendship between 23 year old Chip and 55 year old Deacon, and explores the glue which bind together imperfect families and flawed friendships.

Fat Old Fart constantly mixes humor and drama, striking settings, and noble decisions that lead to unexpected results. It’s a coming-of-age story about Chip and a coming-of-old-age awakening for Deacon who strives to learn the true meaning of fatherhood. A spree of events teaches the orphan Chip how families are born not only by blood, but also through friendship, workplace, and neighborhoods. As families are born, entire communities emerge. From No Palms to Mexico, their adventure and struggle brings together a vastly different collection of people, building into a desperate and very emotional ending which none of them expect.

Fat Old Fart grew out of several linked short stories, from which author Michael Daswick won both of Columbia's prestigious literary awards: The Bennett Cerf Memorial Prize for Fiction and The Cornell Woolrich Fellowship for Creative Writing. He lives in Scottsdale with his wife Kim and family.

Fat Old Fart is the first in the Chip Rock Series. The sequel is CHIP ROCK and the CATALINA KID. Chip’s early years at Boys Hall are chronicled in the award-winning short story collection, HALLBOYS.
