Thor Garcia’s monumental iconoclastic novel, News Clown, was a finalist in the 2009 Amazon.com Breakthrough Novel Award. “Fueled by prodigious amounts of alcohol and tobacco, sex and drugs, this narrative skips along from one bizarre episode to the next in the tortuous life of Thor, a young man whose dreams of a literary career have been sidetracked into an undemanding job as a ‘news clown’ for a small wire service in the crime-infested back alleys of Bay City. Meanwhile, as Thor struggles with his inner demons, the national news clowns are cheering on President Wolfgang G. Mnung as he threatens a Middle Eastern dictator who may have stockpiled ‘as many as 4,000 PlayStation video game units’ from which, according to sources, he might fashion a crude supercomputer to control weapons of untold devastation. A flashy, satirical style keeps the narrative fresh, entertaining and eminently readable throughout” (Publishers Weekly).

I received The News Clown in a Goodreads giveaway and was presently surprised. I didn't hold much hope in being interested in this one from the reviews, but Thor Garcia grabbed my attention and didn't let go. His writing style is different, to say the least. The story follows Thor as he lives his life as a reporter, getting drunk and... The plan was simple, basic, a no-brainer. I figured, first, to explode 'journalism' at its core, pocketing at least one Pulitzer by the age of 30. Id rock the city at dawn, Id crack the dirty, filthy, louse-ridden bitch wide open. Id sit back and watch, smoke curling around my lips, as the chips of deceit and depravity fell in a rain...
