Product Description

In the mid-1990s in New York's gritty East Village, a group of artists, activists, and dreamers come together to create the Troglodyte, a freewheeling, anarchic newspaper in the spirit of the underground press of the 1960s. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, tensions explode into outright hostility, as two camps form and fight for the hearts and minds of the neighborhood.

Couldn't put it down ...

I read this book, unable to put it down, in a single afternoon. The style is so laid back and entertaining that I'd compare it to listening to a good friend tell you a great story.
Highly recommended!

Satiated
Simply that I started it last night, finished it this afternoon, and bought a copy for a friend shows the level of gusto I have for this book. Hall uses his wit and concise storytelling to capture a demimonde of time and place. He beautifully details the difficulty of running an underground newspaper, the frustrations of living in New York, and the universal obstacles of sustaining relationships of all types. This novel satisfies. Thankfully, I'm still under its influence.

Hooked
This story follows one man's experience with an underground newspaper in New York. There is a natural flow to the author's writing style. The characters are colorful and engaging. There is both humor and tragedy, all of which is equally moving. Maybe the secret is that Full of It is based on real people and events. Maybe Tim Hall is just an exceptional story teller. Who cares? I was hooked from start to finish.
