 Elvis, Jesus and Coca-Cola - Kinky Friedman
 Elvis, Jesus and Coca-Cola - Kinky Friedman ... the overdose of Tom Baker and the disappearance of his documentary film on Elvis impersonators with the vanishing of Judy Sepulveda from her blood-smeared apartment - if Tom and Uptown Judy (Jewish cowboy Kinky Friedman's way of distinguishing her from his conterminous lover Downtown Judy) hadn't both scribbled the Kinkster's name on their phone pads.Newest Review: ... into your Google search as it will throw up all sorts of naughty links. Friedman is in fact an American singer, songwriter, ... more ... novelist, humourist, political candidate and the founder of a animal sanctuary. A curious kind of guy, he started writing detective style novels in the 1980's. 'Elvis, Jesus and Coca-cola' is his sixth crime novel and was written in 1993.
This is a smart and funny book and although I keep calling it a 'crime novel' it is about as far removed from your James Ellroy's or your Patricia Cromwell's as you can get. This is a totally different approach to the detective novel and is like some kind of whacked out dream. It act...more |

Rating:
When I was at university doing my English degree I had this oddball professor who was a little fatalistic and had a black sense of humour.
