By Codrescu, Andrei

Publishers Summary:
Fiction. Since emigrating to the U.S. from his native Romania in 1966, Andrei Codrescu has blazed a rocket-bright trail across the cultural landscape of his adopted country, gaining a national audience as a public radio commentator, television personality, and editor of the radical literary journal EXQUISITE CORPSE.

I had to go it alone, something I have a horror of." Andrei Codrescu is the author of BELLIGERENCE (Coffee House Press), available from SPD.
