Call Me Pomeroy James Hanna 1. izdevums

Pomeroy, a parolee named Eddie Beasley, is out of the clink for the umpteenth time, and plays by his own rules. He may be on the dole, but he?ll tip his breakfast waitress $20 just for being nice to him, even if it means he has to sit an extra hour on the street corner to make ends meet. He?s a skirmish-loving, dumpster-diving, ego- starved crazy who thinks that he can sing and that all women are in love with him?or should be. His parole officer, an Hispanic woman who tells Pomeroy he?s off-base and he 1) won?t become a rock star, 2) needs to find a decent job, and 3) would be better off if he stayed out of trouble, is total- ly exasperated by him. But Pomeroy plays by his own rules and has more wisdom that we?d like to admit. You may find yourself laughing when you shouldn?t (?A good strong piss is better than sex. Lasts longer too.?) and find his egocentric opinions politically incorrect (?There ain?t a dyke alive ol? Pomeroy can?t turn straight.?). But don?t blame yourself if you begin to root for this antihero?you?ll have a lot of company. (Note: Adult language)
