Nothing Doing - Softcover

When America's underbelly shows we see that it's fat, wiggly, and soft, and kind of dirty, and when it will finally get stretched out well and good by the wretched of the world, it will be clear that what looks like dirt is actually a collection of amazing stories by Willie Smith who chronicled the fat, the wiggle, the complacency, and the terror of it like only few writers did, the great ones. --Andrei Codrescu

In this collection of stories, Willie Smith wheels the Human Condition into the examining room and proceeds to poke, prod, humor and biopsy any suspicious growths with the surgical precision of Franz Kafka and Robert Walser. Should be included in any survival kit ----Donald Guravich, author of World at Large

'Nothing Doing' is underground legend Willie Smith's shocking, subversive and darkly hilarious ode to misspent childhood, lost innocence and creeping depravity.
