Synopsis

This dark comic tale has it all: drinking, smoking, adultery, murder, suicide, cats, donuts, and lots of zany poetry. The man in charge is R. Daniel Nixon (first name Richard), a tall, bald poet who can't seem to get a break: not from life or from the women he pursues. Join Danny in his quest to prove that poetry (and poets) can be bold, sexy, and vastly entertaining.

À propos de l'auteur

California writer C.D. Payne is the author of over a dozen humorous novels that have won a large cult following around the world. His best-known work, “Youth in Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp,” was the basis of a 2010 film. From Weinstein Films, it starred Michael Cera, Steve Buscemi, Justin Long, Ray Liotta, and Jean Smart. Besides "The Unpleasant Poet" (just published), Payne’s recent novels include "Miracle in a Can," “Revolt at the Beach” (book 8 in the Twisp series), and “Cheeky Swimsuits of 1957.” This last one is the story of a young Yale grad (class of '57) who wants to be a filmmaker, but winds up in Ukiah, California running a small company that makes bathing suits for women with problem figures. "Miracle in a Can" is a fun road story set in the Midwest in 1949. Payne has made two trips to the Czech Republic and Slovakia where his novels are immensely popular. He is a native of Ohio (born in 1949 in Akron) and a graduate of Harvard College.
