Unglued: The Book of Strafe

Bill Wetmore
4.38/5 (8 ratings)
It's 1978, and for recent college graduate Peter Strafe, the path to enlightenment zigzags absurdly through his mother's basement, a disaster-prone New Jersey glue factory, the Coconuts strip club, a sports arena that offers ten-cent beer night, dog ownership, the Museum of Modern Art, his girlfriend's bedroom, a tornado, and (of course) California. In an attempt to make sense of the absurdity around him Strafe begins studying Zen Buddhism and practicing meditation atop tank trucks as they fill with glue. His foray into the world of Zen leads him to discover his inner writer. He writes poetic Zen gems like "We be" and "I shy" before moving on to wonderfully bizarre short stories and epic genre-bending novels that span continents and solar systems. Of course, all this growth has Strafe headed straight for a crossroads-- company man for the American Starch and Adhesive factory or Zen Master writer?
