Free Book Friday: Crust by Lawrence Shainberg

By JK Evanczuk on Friday, September 25, 2009 - View Comments

Welcome to this week’s Free Book Friday, wherein we give you the best titles in indie publishing for the low low price of nothing. Congrats to last week’s winner Janine for picking up a copy of Some Things That Meant the World to Me by Joshua Mohr.

CRUST by Lawrence Shainberg

This week, we are giving away a copy of Crust by Lawrence Shainberg. Dubbed a “Vonnegut-worthy satire” by the Boston Globe, Crust is the story of prolific writer and author of the Complete Series (The Complete Book of Aids, 9/11, Terrorism), Walker Linchuk, who is suffering from a seven month plague of writer’s block. One morning Linchuk wakes to find a crust in his nose – the “definitive crust of his life” – that awakens him to a new world of desire and enlightenment. Equal parts George Orwell and Christopher Guest, Crust is an insightful and hilarious journey through our hyper-technological age.”

This week’s Free Book Friday is sponsored by Two Dollar Radio. Two Dollar Radio is a family-run outfit founded in 2005 with the mission to reaffirm the cultural and artistic spirit of the publishing industry. They aim to do this by presenting bold works of literary merit, each book individually and collectively providing a sonic progression that they believe to be too loud to ignore.

You can read the first chapter of Crust for free on Two Dollar Radio’s website.
