Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a couplet of compact forms. The first is titled 'Fleece' and the second, 'Mileage'. Fleece is the story of Frank in his element of dupery; an occupation that is bound to get him into trouble sooner or later. When his girlfriend dumps him for a wealthier man, he decides rashly that he has to triple his earnings whether by hook or crook just as well. In his attempt at a cross-country heist, actors from both ends hustle ever closer to a denounment that touches just this side of being climactic. Mileage is a first person account of a life lived whilst straddling multiple worlds. This is evident in a plethora of spheres like the author being caught in between medication sustained sanity or even pervasive modernism and the old unsophisticated ways. An abridged memoir is more like it set in a country still trying to find its footing and written by an author seeking the same end.
