Confrontational French: A Novel

Half-wit con-men Andrew and Bruce live in a beat-up VW camper, running from the law in pursuit of their lifelong dream: to move to Paris as a chef and poet. But their not-so-haute cuisine and poetry are as fauxed-up as their French, which they learn from an insulting cassette tape. All they need is one last scam... So when they meet Charlotte, a blind girl with a penchant for pills, they're sure she's the easy mark who will get them to easy street. But the merde hits the fan when they learn she's got plans of her own. Told in the freewheeling tradition of the great picaresque novels -- Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces, Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America, Voltaire's Candide -- Confrontational French is a madcap tale of love, friendship, and roadkill cuisine.
