What will readers find when they open JOHNNY PORNO?
A likeable protagonist in John Albano whose decency is only matched by the number of personal problems nipping at his heels and an unfortunate nickname which doubles as the novel’s title.
Some time-traveling to 1973 (and a scary sense of deju vu that despite whatever technological and social advancements the years have brought, not that much finally has changed in America).
A plot whose pacing is as fast as a pack of greyhounds and at the same time, miraculously, as crazily and craftily constructed as a Marx Brothers movie or a Rube Goldberg machine.
A hungry menagerie of good guys and bad guys at feeding time.
A writing style that’s top-shelf.
Some side-orders of Suspense. Romance. Black Humor. All seasoned liberally with Sex, Violence, Drugs, and Rock and Roll.
What else will readers find in JOHNNY PORNO?
A novel that shouldn’t be this much fun or pleasurable.
That’s Charlie Stella’s real crime.
