ReviewsPrimus frontman/bassist Claypool's first novel reads like an ace Quentin Tarantino screenplay . . . It strikes suddenly and bloodily . . ., The story rises to a chilling climax both unexpected and satisfying . . . This is an easy read that I would pass on to friends.

SynopsisA dark, clever tale of two brothers, a fishing trip, drugs, and murder, this novel skillfully combines classic motifs of epic struggle and intelligent layers of imagery, reminiscent of The Old Man and the Sea , and the raw, tweaked perspective of a Hunter S. Thompson novel. Les Claypool established himself as the most original rock bassist in the 1990s, as front man for the hit band Primus. They toured the world with groups like Jane's Addiction, Public Enemy, and U2. Claypool penned the theme song to TV's South Park , and has guested on albums by many other artists, including Jerry Cantrell and Tom Waits., A dark, clever tale of two brothers, a fishing trip, drugs, and murder, this novel skillfully combines classic motifs of epic struggle and intelligent layers of imagery, reminiscent of "The Old Man and the Sea", and the raw, tweaked perspective of a Hunter S.

Thompson novel. But like Les Claypool's music, the material is still hugely innovative, highly independent, and excruciatingly thought-provoking. South of the Pumphouse is sure to be a cult phenomenon, doing for books what Donnie Darko and the Coen brothers did for film: bringing disquiet back to the forefront of popular writing., A dark, clever tale of two brothers, a fishing trip, misconceptions, drugs and murder, South of the Pumphouse skilfully combines classic motifs of epic struggle and intelligent layers of imagery, reminiscent of The Old Man and the Sea and the raw, tweaked perspective and hallucinogenic tutorial of a Hunter S.
