In the waning days of an Indian summer in Syracuse, New York, in 1997, Jordan Flint is at a crossroads in life. Does he accept the blue collar fate of his parents and friends, barely scraping by in life, or does he find the courage within himself to follow his heart and the girl who stole it? In the tradition of Three Squirt Dog, Skipped Parts, and Bong Water, Keck delivers a hilarious coming-of-age tale you won't be able to put down. Praise for Are You There God? It's Me. Kevin. "Reading this book is a lot like talking with one of your buddies over a beer. "Are You There, God?" is a good read for anyone whose life is in upheaval or ever has been, and that covers just about all of us." - Dallas Morning News "Funny and entertaining..." - New York Observer "Highly engaging" - Time Out Chicago "Overly revealing and not very pretty, but good" - Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) "Very funny" - Christopher Schobert, Buffalo News "Like David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs before him, the author enchants and occasionally horrifies with self-deprecating tales of familial dysfunction as he exposes the bumps encountered thus far on his road to self-discovery.... Laugh-out-loud memoir that also offers serious food for thought for those tempted to seek the comforts of home when negotiating the trials of adulthood." - Kirkus Reviews "With candid wit.... Keck wins the reader over with his quirky honesty." - Publishers Weekly Praise for Oedipus Wrecked "The short memoir of an amazingly perverted--and funny--young writer." - Entertainment Weekly "Hilarious...this slim volume is sure to make you laugh out loud." - Playgirl "Oedipus Wrecked is very dirty, very honest, and very funny. Did I mention it's very dirty?" - A. J. Jacobs
