Roy Rogers in the Twenty-First Century

IT'S THE '90s. IT'S WINTER. IT'S COLD AND WET OUTSIDE. JOIN WINDOW WASHER ROY WESTON and his cinematic cowboy pal, Pistol Pete, as they leave the mean, wet streets of Seattle and hitchhike to California, headed for sun, sand, the Roy Rogers Museum, and a bit of interdimensional time travel-not to mention getting as far away as possible from Roy's murderous brother, Rick. ALONG THE WAY, YOU'LL ENCOUNTER a dangerous music store, a twisted state trooper, an even more twisted trucker, yodeling, a harrowing angel-dust incident, stretched audiotapes, rotting broccoli, a pair of acid-tripping breasts, a bookseller of unknowable age, a high-minded mustang, a bad case of log- pinching, the Code of the West, jerked pronghorn, a long-dead Old Cowboy, the Sons of the Pioneers...and a feisty gal named Opal. Roy Rogers in the Twenty-First Century-funnier than The Brothers Karamazov, more terrifying than What Ho, Jeeves!, shorter than War and Peace, deeper than the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-and there's lasagna! What's not to like?
