Summary: Spanning a two-week period, Tweeker is a drug-soaked, deliciously degenerate novel which follows an aspiring writer's unapologetically candid eyewitness account into an endless litany of pathetic addicts, sordid hotels, lifeless romance, and meth induced brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drug score to the next in the slums of Tijuana and his outrageous employment in an all-night adult theater stateside. Luis Blasini writes with a dark yet fascinating truthfulness and respect for the addicts and hoodlums who he associates with in a fast-paced story of sex, street life, and drugs - bringing a humanity to what many may consider as obscure, degenerate, or just plain disgusting. Yet, Tweeker is none of these. The work is filled with love, beauty, pain and always without blinking, the raw truth. He takes the reader into a world they don't want to enter - but when the story is finished, we are glad we made the journey and had someone like Blasini by our side as a companion.<

No binding. New. Kindle Edition. 124 pages. The novel relates two weeks in the life of an ordinary everyman who is barely treading water in an alienist world where all inhabitants live for the next score. The setting is in the cross-border towns of San Diego and Tijuana where the narrator etches out an nightmarish existence straight out of an Hieronymus Bosch painting. The characters, and there are many, are fetid souls who are constantly sizing each other up in predatory stances, looking for the next most available exploitation. It is a macabre abstraction of the worst aspects of human nature, yet Blasini expertly handles the dark humor with measured tenacity to get to the next event. . . in short, once the reading has started, its hard to put it down. The author takes the reader into a world they dont want to enter - but when the story is finished, we are glad we made the journey and had someone like Blasini by our side as a companion.
