Books by Steve Abee

Johnny Future, lover of all that exists, hopelessly unrepentant and quixotic, knows that life is calling him. He can feel it, man. Inanimate objects, exterminator icons, street signs are all talking to him, telling him he''s a loser. His grandmother, Dolly Flowers, the only mother he has ever known, is in a nursing home. He hasn''t seen her since she got sick, but with a stolen car and a prostitute named America in tow, Johnny''s adventure to save her from death takes him from the slums of Hollywood to a wild freeway chase with the LAPD to the doorstep of fate. Steve Abee taps the well of broken hope and tattered heroism that sits beneath his nihilistic generation. A heartening, hypersexual, punch-drunk tour de force, Johnny Future ushers the drug narrative into the new American century.
