Description
Return with us now to those thrilling bygone days known as…The Seventies. It's 1974, and Blast From The Past is "…a plot devised by a devilishly clever mind, probably influenced by prohibited substances…" and "…the mother of all prequels…".
A younger, kinkier Kinky has just started performing at the Lone Star Cafe, and is also about to take on his first gig as an amateur detective: trying to figure out who is gunning for his houseguest, Barry Freed (a.k.a. on-the-run Yippie Abbie Hoffman). And, putting further demands on Kinky's budding Sherlockian skills, his new girlfriend, Judy, swears that she's being stalked by her ex-husband -- whose very dead body has recently been shipped back from Vietnam. Helping Kinky are Ratso, Steve Rambam, Mike McGovern and the rest of the Village Irregulars,
together for the very first time.
About "Blast From The Past", from the Author's Introduction: "Blast From The Past … offers a chance for the author and the reader to re-live that era known as the Sixties and the Seventies, when the music was great, the drugs were cheap, and the love was free. … Imagine being at the notorious Lone Star Café back in the Seventies when it was okay to do drugs, okay to have unprotected sex, okay to paddle a brat or spank a monkey. At the Lone Star in those days I was much younger and kinkier – uncouth, unshaped, unrepentant, and frequently unconscious. …"
Vandam Press is proud to be able to make this remarkable novel available again to Kinky’s old friends and to those readers worldwide who are discovering Kinky Friedman for the first time.

"Friedman cinches his credentials as a great Southern storyteller. he combines the deductive moxie of a Chandler or a Hammett with the boisterous irreverence of a stream-of-consciousness raconteur, and the blend is a pungent delight." (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
"Author Richard Friedman was given the nickname Kinky for his curly 'Jewish natural' hairdo, not for his sexual proclivities. But it might just as well been for his writing style, which is full of twists and turns and Friedman's particular brand of skewed humor." (USA Today)]

"Smart, funny and tough." (Robert B. Parker, author)
"The Sam Spade of South Texas. Only soft boiled. And hipper. And funnier." (Sunday Mail)
