The Failure

by Patrick Wensink

One of my favorite authors, James Greer, just put out another winner.

The Failure is an crime novel about a crime gone horribly wrong. Two guys try to rob a check cashing joint to fund their million-dollar internet ad scheme. The results entangle comas, a mountain lion mauling, drugs and a man named Sven who proudly proclaims himself the villain of the story. Artistically graceful, touching and, best of all, funny--this has been my favorite read of the year, thus far.

James has also said some nice things about "Sex Dungeon for Sale!" in the past (See sidebar for details).
