A dark, biting comic novel. I was dazzled, surprised, excited! - Rick Moody, best-selling author, The Ice Storm I love this book! - Ron McLarty, best-selling author, The Memory of Running Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky, the first novel by 3-time Emmy Award winning comedian Dave Konig, is The Bowery Boys on speed in the wild, wild West Side of New York City of the early 1980s; cheap single-room occupancy hotels, crime, and Times Square sleaze. A more innocent time. Three teenage runaways - naive Danny Fisher, street savvy Bobby Boyd, and Bobby's delusional artist brother James Boyd - form a wildly dysfunctional familial bond. They dream, plot, and scheme to escape their misfit world through crime (a poorly planned robbery of valuable comic books), art (James is convinced his unsuccessful career as a graffiti artist will propel him to Hollywood fame), and a little help from a clown's car full of deposed Ping-Pong champions, fat junkies, washed-up boxers, midgets, aging Nazis, and enigmatic movie stars. Sort of like an urban Lord of the Flies - but with better jokes. Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky is, quite possibly, the Great American Novel.

"She's gone. No pulse, no breathing, and cold as an ice cube," I replied while reluctantly withdrawing my hand. Turning around and away from her, my eyes fell on the scene at the end of the basement. Along the wall were roughly a dozen men. All of them had their arms above their heads with their palms pressed against the concrete wall. Their feet were spread apart. Their heads were hung in either shame or fear. None of them were fully clothed. Some were missing their shirts, some were missing their pants, and one of them was completely naked....  Lace up the boots with an authentic 20-year EMS volunteer in one of the world’s biggest EMS systems, New York City. Going from a bumpy start in the service, through to those teenage rebellion years as a new provider running on calls for help, and culminating to a point of maturity often never reached in an industry known for eating its enthusiastic young with an astronomically high burnout rate. Ride along to discover what it’s like to be an EMS provider, plunge head first to unlock the secrets of a misunderstood EMS system, and discover the shocking truth about who’s winning the life and death struggle that human nature declares we wage in the quest for immortality.
