"If you're the type to stick your thumb out near the crossroads of Sinclair Lewis's plainspoken cynicism and Jim Thompson's deadpan drawl, you just might find yourself bumming a ride with Hugh Blanton, a chronicler of such low lives as would never think to chronicle themselves. Nothing much good comes to pass for The Pudneys - nor ever can or will - but this book stands as a testament to all their fitful, half-assed efforts to scratch and claw and survive."
