Fourteen Stories, None of Them Are Yours

In this dazzling debut about life after loss, Luke B. Goebels heart-hurt, ultra-adrenalized alter ego, H. Roc, leads us on a raucous RV romp across whats left of postmodern America and beyond. Whether its gobbling magic cacti at a native ceremony in Northern California, burning bad manuscripts in a backyard bonfire in East Texas, or travelling at top speed to an infamous editors office in Manhattan (with a burnt-out barista and an illegal bald eagle as companions), scene by scene, story by story, Goebel plunges us into a madly original fictional realm characterized by heartbroken psychedelic cowboys on the brink - lonely men who wrestle wild dogs on cheap beaches and kick horses in the face to get ahead. Fourteen Stories, None of Them Are Yours is a rare book: Goebels ingenuity, humanity, and humor streak through every page.
