Drug-addled yard workers. Black-marketeering militiamen. Aimless celebrity impersonators. Narcotized puffer fish. And at the center of it all, a pair of glue-huffing cousins who attempt to cope with the relentless disasters of their lives by building giant trash monuments that attract their own strange fanatics. Welcome to The Great American Suction, a frenzied portrait of struggle and collapse - and occasional resuscitation - in the ruts and nooks of a beleaguered heartland.

Mixedbloods w/ Joseph Rathgeber

Joseph Rathgeber reads an excerpt from his new book Mixedbloods. Get it now from Fomite Press. The Ramapough Lenape, a destabilized people—origins uncertain, debated and mythologized—are struggling to survive in the face of an ecological devastation visited upon them by the neighboring Ford plant, which has dumped paint sludge in abandoned mines for decades. Mixedbloods is a story of identity, of a cultural history under attack, and of destructive—often violent—behavior. https://www.amazon.com/Mixedbloods-Joseph-Rathgeber/dp/1944388869/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Mixedbloods+joseph+rathgeber&qid=1560023758&s=books&sr=1-1
