Black Leather and Blue Denim is a '50s novel about greaser gang
conflict in Levittown, Pennsylvania. J.W. narrates the story.
J.W. (age twelve) and his family move into the Dogwood Hollow
section of Levittown in the spring of '54. He soon makes friends
with Carnie, the neurotic son of a carnival barker, and Tinker, a
mechanically inclined, vindictive kid with destructive tendencies.
The three boys are picked on and harassed by older greasers from
Kenwood, another section of Levittown.
In April of '54, the Fairless Hills Steel Mill opens, and the
Caracas, a Venezuelan ship is carrying the first iron ore from
South America up the Delaware River. Students from area schools are
invited to wave linen American flags on sticks at the vessel. Four
people in the front row accidentally fall into the Delaware River
as the Caracas is passing by. Two of them are Angie Palermo and
Bubbles Messina. The two girls and their families blame J.W. and
Carnie for pushing them over the bulkhead into the river. The event
causes future conflict between the girls and J.W.
Frat' Brats is the third novel of a coming of age trilogy started
by Black Leather and Blue Denim, A '50s Novel and The Great Teen
Fruit War, A 1960 Novel. In Frat' Brats J. W. attends a South
Jersey teachers college and prepares for a professional life in the
real economic world. Soon he and his friends join an off-campus
non-sanctioned fraternity Lambda Phi Sigma, and that's when the
freshman's life suddenly becomes very interesting and
conflict-oriented. The Lambda Phi's must respond to dangerous
incidents and harassment perpetuated by two established rival male
fraternities, the Delta Alpha Omegas and the Tau Kappa Epsilons,
which have the endorsement and support of the college deans.
Conflict soon escalates into life-threatening hazing. J.W. obtains
the assistance of an old high school friend Goose Restuccio, the
son of a New Jersey Mafia kingpin who aids the Lambdas in their
struggles against the school administration and against the two
competing favored fraternities. Frat Brats combines
action/adventure with romance and many surprising developments
among very interesting characters in the culturally dynamic and
historically explosive time setting of 1961-'65. J.W. and his
fellow Lambdas manage to survive several kidnappings, unique
hostage situations, snakes, manure pits, diving horses, Brahma
bulls, bucking broncos, an exciting boat chase, moving train
caboose initiation boardings', a daring panty raid, a nudist colony
and a fantastic Florida spring break along with a series of other
imaginative ordeals to finally graduate and then help the Lambda
Phi's fight the Second Battle of Salamis against the formidable
rich-kid Delta Alpha Omegas to bring closure to the
ongoingfraternity war. Frat' Brats is definitely adult literature
featuring adult language and content and has been exclusively
written for a mature reading audience.
Mauled Maimed Mangled Mutilated Mythology is adult literature that
satirizes twenty-one classic mythology stories into more mature
presentations featuring adult language, content and humor. Author
Jay Dubya goes right to work retelling adult renditions of female
myths Pandora, Ceres Goes Against the Grain and Echo's Cursing
Curse. Other famous adventure myths that are thoroughly pulverized
and clobbered are Bellerophon's Marathon Adventure, Theseus and the
Minotaur, Perseus and Medusa, Osysseus and the Cyclops and Jason
and the Golden Fleecers. Male hero and vanity/punishment myths are
also imaginatively assaulted and mercilessly converted into adult
versions as in the cases of Prometheus and Fire, The Three Golden
Apples, Oedipus, King Midas and Orpheus. Other stories that are not
saved from degeneration are the author's humorous original tales
Olympus Lives and also Colliding Myths, where Jay Dubya combines
the popular stories of Phaethon and the classic Daedalus and
Icarus. Love myths are also hammered with novel presentations of
Baucis and Philemon, Psyche and Stupid Cupid along with Atalanta's
Last Race. Finally, Norse mythology is not spared from total
degeneration with a very amusing retelling of Beowulf and Arabian
literature is also assaulted with a creative presentation of The
Fourth Voyage of Sindbad. Mauled Maimed Mangled Mutilated Mythology
is exclusively adult satirical literature that is definitely not
written for or to be read by children.
