A rip-roaring journey through the highs and lows of tour life
Welcome aboard the tour van of Major Threat--Brooklyn's finest rock band yet to catch a break--as they traverse the US of A on a last-ditch summer festival tour. On drums we've got band dad Ed, the stoic drummer who keeps bumping into tech bro coworkers that he can't quite relate to. On bass, there's Paul, a man of mostly mystery, who drinks hard and yet manages to glide through life, intelligible to no one except energy-drink-guzzling Marco, the baby of the band and newest replacement lead singer. And of course there's the gentle and serene Lillith, a weed-lollipop-sucking, stuffed-animal-backpack-wearing guitarist healing from heartbreak. There's sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, sure, but there are also tender moments as the motley crew take turns behind the wheel, compiling lists of the hottest hunks and best guitar riffs to pass the miles. From tour fashion to breakdowns--mechanical and emotional--Leslie Stein holds no bars in this incredibly funny and heartfelt love letter meets parody of life on the road. Her first full-length fiction, Brooklyn's Last Secret expertly showcases Stein's trademark cocktail of charm, wit, and whimsey, leaving readers decidedly affected by their time spent in her world.
