Bill Beverly recommends

A Man Named Doll (2021)
(Happy Doll, book 1)
Jonathan Ames
"A MAN NAMED DOLL: a singular read about the peril of having a body. Gallows humor in overdrive on Dilaudid, crashing merrily downhill."
thumb
Gangster Nation (2017)
(Gangsterland, book 2)
Tod Goldberg
"Gangster Nation punches even harder than the excellent Gangsterland did: against the backdrop of 9/11, everybody's roughed up and bleeding, and nobody's hiding it well. Tod Goldberg's weird world is getting The Sopranos-good, and The Sopranos-funny: he can hit you high, low, or straight in the gut. Meshugener wiseguys. It'll make you a better killer--and a better rabbi."
