The first novel from underground writer Aaron Cometbus, Double Duce reads like a reality TV show from the lows of Berkeley punk life -- take two underachieving pranksters and let them figure out how to pay the rent when neither has a job. In this autobiographical novel, the characters ponder life's mundane questions -- how to get by on no money, where to scam free photocopies, and the finer points of dumpster diving -- with the seriousness of ancient philosophers. What Kerouac was to the Beat Generation, Aaron Cometbus is to the East Bay punk scene, and the strange tribe of punks and dropouts has never before been so perfectly chronicled as in this oral history made into written saga. Pretty darned cheap, too. (P.S. It's pronounced like "double deuce.")
