Letters From A Bum: "It was probably at about this time I got into narcotics. Not selling, just using them. Recreationally, at first. Then every day. Cocaine mostly. Actually, just cocaine."
Who's Frank Bruce?
Exactly - who the hell is Frank Bruce?
Frank Bruce is a sacked CIA accounts analyst wants to make it big - as a writer.
Well, there are worse things - Frank's wife for one thing, and working for the CIA for another. But the road to any chance of literary fame and success is marred by his hellish artistic lifestyle and Frank's main literary companion - cocaine.
And the only thing he's more addicted to? Writing.
Desperate in his unrelenting pursuit, fueled by drugs and his life comically spiraling out of control, Frank meets a successful, but carefree author, who takes him under his wing.
Together they try to ensure that they both hit rock-bottom - hard.
Packed with wit and deliciously degenerate characters, "Letters From A Bum" is an uncompromising and savagely funny portrait of a life on the edge...!

Dear Reader,
If you enjoy the humor and references often used by writers such as Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac, John Irving's earlier stuff, Ken Keysey, JD Salinger, Tom Robbins, Dan Fante, maybe even John Fante, J.G. Ballard, Chuck Palahniuk, Will Self, Dennis Cooper, Martin Amis, Anne Sexton, Jay McInerney and others, if you enjoy funny writers, writers with an edge, writers who are politically incorrect, writers who don't take their literary "masterpieces" too seriously, writers who can laugh at themselves, then this is for you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
