The irrepressible Kinkster follows his best-selling novel Roadkill with a fresh, fabulous prequel that answers the burning question, 'Where the hell did those weird characters come from anyway?' Those addicted to this true original have a special treat in store in Blast from the Past. The author has searched his failing memory and come up with a yarn about his early days in New York - how Kinky Friedman, the down-and-out, sleazeball country-music performer, became Kinky Friedman, the down-and-out, sleazeball ace detective. It explains where those Village Irregulars - Ratso, Rambam and McGovern - came from, and why. And it asks the question, was Stephanie Dupont ever really a little girl, a five-year-old nymphet in patent leather spikes? The answers to his and myriad other questions are to be found in Blast from the Past, a tale of murder, mayhem, madness, lust, considerable navel-gazing, and exceptional fun.
