Driftwood Dan

About the Book

His roommate’s a porn-star, his co-workers can’t decide if they’re working a job or doing a stint at summer camp, and no one knows a slang term for “nipple” – that’s about as hard as life gets for Driftwood Dan. He works the western tourist trade, and if times get tough, he packs up his problems in a duffel bag and heads on down the road to the next two-bit job.

But when a sexy tourist-lady turns his head, is Driftwood ready to give up the raunchy, carefree life he loves, just for the sake of “getting’ laid regular”?

Ray Sikorski completes this irreverent volume with a baker’s dozen of short stories. Widow wannabe’s, ping pong prodigies, and a woman who can raise herself five feet above the ground without any help from anything – they’re just a few of the characters who reside in these quick, feint-and-jab vignettes of life, love, and laundromats.

About the Author

Ray Sikorski escaped the New York suburbs to the solace of the American West, where he was confronted with his utter inability to hold down a job. Mandolin-maker, potato sorter, post-hole digger, ham salesman – none of these jobs suited him as well as the ones he found in the hotels and restaurants of America’s National Parks. The bold, lusty, quirky characters he encountered gave Sikorski inspiration for his writing (though not for a particularly sound work ethic). Winner of Montana Crossroads Magazine’s 1997 Short Fiction Award, Driftwood Dan is Sikorski’s first novel.
