The Dharma Scum

A novel written by Randy Russell and Sean Wolf Hill. Hill is known for his zines about American diners, as well as this gem on fast food architecture. It starts in Olympia, WA at the Lost Music Network Conference in 1984, where OP Magazine's John Foster held a call for successors to that mag's legacy. They begin recounting a coffee-fueled summer traversing Ohio in a Not-Jack-Kerouac fashion. It's not as charming as Cometbus but I'm a fan of Hill's writing nonetheless.
