Joe Matt is notorious in cult circles for the embarrassing frankness with which he reveals his distressing personality and lifestyle. Utterly self-absorbed, Joe Matt writes with enthusiasm for his favorite subject, himself. In FAIR WEATHER, Joe examines his 1970s suburban childhood. In this surprisingly tasteful novel young Joe Matt is a selfish child who steals from stores, takes advantage of his friends, threatens to burn his mother's house down, and bullies those weaker than himself. Completely unsentimental and strangely kind of endearing, FAIR WEATHER continues the American tradition of hilarious and idiosyncratic self-exhibitionism.
