Hogback: A Tale of Inter-Generational Conflict and a Girl - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A STORY OF AND FOR THE AGES: Under a Program for Inter-Generational Sports ("P.I.G.S") a golf tournament open to players of all ages is intended to bring truth and reconciliation to hostile peer groups in a small Oklahoma town. Instead, the event sparks an outbreak of inter-generational alienation, conflict and violence. * Members of three generations of the Weiner family ---- Gramp, Glen Junior, and Lance ---- clash over their respective stakes in the tournament outcome. * Portia Pepper, founder and director of the local Midlife Crisis Center, aligns her organization's midlife militia on the side of Glen Junior and his dreams for making the town's municipal golf course "the Pebble Beach of Oklahoma." * Randy Grimes, an equally desperate midlifer in crisis, goes head-to-head against Lance for the tournament title, a trophy car ---- and for Randy, the affections of a younger woman. * Professor Lehough, an expert on the inter-generational problem of how to slice the American pie, organizes helter-skelter teenager harassment of Gramp, and perhaps other senior citizens, into a revolutionary youth movement. * A young reporter for the local newspaper ---- the heroic Henryetta again! ---- is personally drawn into what is, quite literally, "A Story of and for The Ages." Hogback, A Tale of Inter-Generational Conflict and a Girl, might or might not be the "missing link" in Simon Plaster's work alluded to in his last masterpiece. Based on findings from an in-depth dumpster dive following Simon's disappearance, however, Mossik Press considers itself bound by its motto ---- Pro Se Eloquia ---- "Let Words Speak for Themselves." And so, without apology, we publish!
