With tons of punk-rock credibility under his belt from publications ranging from in-your-face skater magazine Thrasher to various literary and political journals, author Sean Carswell (Drinks for the Little Guy) is making a significant dent in the modern cult American literature scene with his new novel, the coming-of-age tale Train Wreck Girl. The new offering from the so-called “J.D. Salinger of the Internet generation” is about a Flagstaff bartender who, following the morbid discovery, hightails it back to his roots in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The simultaneously comic and tragic Girl ultimately is the story of a man’s journey to find himself among the many skeletons he harbors in his phantasmal closet.
