A Diet Of Worms, Erik Rasmussen
A Diet Of Worms, Erik Rasmussen
2018
Fiction. A few years ago, Larry Morvan lost his best friend, his father, his girlfriend and his virginity during a three-day field trip. Now, on the eve of his 17th birthday, he's got a confession to make. Larry is an underachiever searching for a hero among his Long Island hometown ruins. When a knack for drawing earns him a nomination to an exclusive field trip, Larry's set upon a crash course with the real and the imagined, with the opposite of his icons, with the Devil himself--who just might be his daddy. From plastic soldiers in a dollhouse to teenagers in a flaming cabin, Rasmussen weaves a tale of merciless disillusionment measured in betrayal, death, hallucination, and his own ejaculate's distance. Often hysterical, sometimes misanthropic, and altogether controversial, A DIET OF WORMS tells the story of a young cynic's misadventures on the hunt for something to believe in. If Brett Easton Ellis wrote Catcher in the Rye, it might sound like this.
