About the Book

"When Joy Boy finds himself without a girlfriend, living with a bunch of crazy roommates, and without an ounce of passion for the job he has writing 18-word sitcom descriptions for the TV Talon Times, he knows something has to change. His quest for something lasting and meaningful leads him on a simple search for Dude and Nico, which turns into a wild romp where he encounters a diverse array of impassioned, lonely, and restless searchers. Joy Boy's Chasm will have you laughing out loud. And shaking your head in disbelief.
