About this Item
The fifth novel of Harry Crews, set in Jacksonville, one of the biggest cities by area in the U.S. Car is Crews' comic story of a boy who grew up on a car scrapyard who sees his life so easily defined and as malleable as the car he seems destined to eat at a local hotel, working for a buck and a metal meal as a daily tourist attraction. Seemingly inspired by the the famous Frenchman Monsieur Mangetout, Michael Lotito, and perhaps others, who would disassemble and slowly transform otherwise inedible industrial artifacts into small consumable pieces, by any means necessary, that would be ingested with the aid of mineral oil.
