Garage BandSingle layered short story and the first book published by Michael. A group of misfits who formed a band in high school and disassembled it after graduation, based on their disastrous performances at the prom, reunite after running into each other years later.
Each had their own set of issues as they stumbled through life. Did the universe speak or was the school reunion the flame that brought them together again. Memories, alcohol, marijuana and laughs, sometimes funny, sometimes pitiful but it held an important lesson to be learned.
Told in a narrative form, more or less, and in a matter-of-fact way, the character that was most entertaining to me was Hasheeb and his struggles with his virginity, as old as he was, along with his crude pick-up lines. I can’t even imagine what I would do if someone approached me the way he approached women.
The author can tell a story but for me, I like complexity and this did lack that element, but in the end…
Read the book for yourself to get the full impact!
