Wesley Gamble is an also-ran, a lifeless drone whose descent into
oblivion has been feverishly aided by his addictions. Tequila
sunrises, liquid lunches and evening nightcaps fill the itinerary
of his day, days that crash into one another in blurred chaos and
delusion. Through a series of chemical induced missteps, he
discovers a visceral and raw underground, led by a charismatic and
dangerous man who will guide him to salvation and redemption-and
perhaps an endgame that could crumble the shaky foundations of our
society as we know it. Set against a gritty street aesthetic and
punk rock backdrop, Throwaway Kids is a fast-paced, character
driven tale that skewers our culture in a sometimes biting, often
poignant, and always in-your-face fashion. Crafted with a
disturbing and edgy style, author Jon Allen's nihilistic vantage on
what passes as normal in an increasingly lost society puts a
chokehold on the reader while raising questions about an age-old
grey area; right, wrong and the jagged little pieces in-between.
