Fall 98 Daniel Spero

Suspend your normal grooming habits and dash on the patrouli, it's time for Phish tour. Hit the road with Julian Jakos, a precarious 23-year-old, as he quits his job at a sock factory and hops in the Isuzu Trooper of Peter Grossinger, a kleptomaniac gas station attendant who also works the night shift. As they travel across America Fall 98 chronicles Julian's arresting adventures with sex, drugs, rock n' roll, rogue cops, raver-hippy hybrids, maniacal twirlers, and mile after mile of interstate. This extraordinary read is a non-stop coming-of-age tale that's as much comical as it is disparaging, a book so saturated with drug logic you'll think you've been dosed. Not just a novel for Phish fans, Fall 98 is a universally identifiable adventure in escapism.
