      About This Book

      Fiction. Ray's story combines the sacrificial moral compass of Travis Bickle with a bloodied but unbowed Bukowskian will. His anger builds like the heat of the L.A. summer, until he discovers a way to react undwarfed by the size of his rage. "I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan. But if being a fan means applauding shallowness, being out-of-touch with the real world, looking pretty for money, being unaware of the hearts that are broken across the globe, well then, sir, I am your number one fan." (from God Doesn't Drive a Limousine). "OSCAR CALIBER GUN explores the hazy junction where the teeth of the daily grind sink into the day-dreamt certainties of life's true bell-head sounds." (Lee Ranaldo, of Sonic Youth, author of ROAD MOVIES).
