Publisher's Synopsis
There once was a man from Pawtucket, While aging, finally said, "Fuck it!" To pass on his genes He wrote these short memes Before he became a dead ducket. Come one and all and take a rollickin' read of six Tales from the Bucket. Six small-town stories whose only minimally connecting thread is a mention of the Soldiers' Bar, a local watering-hole. You may see Ralph there, ranting and swearing and heading back to his frigid wife. Playdough may stop by. (Ask him about the hooker with a hawk.) Check out the guy in the back, practically humping the pinball machine. Buy Nick Adams a glass of wine before he heads out to fish off an island in the Blackstone River. And lastly, listen to a very old Gus Duncan tell about the time he was in the woods cutting trees with two pot smokers and their stoned chainsaw hijinks. Everybody's got a book in 'em. This one's mine.
