PETROLEUM TRANSFER ENGINEER
\na novel
\nPublished by Underground Voices<\/p>\n

South Jersey in the 1980s: A distinctive subculture more akin to the south or midwest than anything on the east coast. Francis, a defrocked college student who has made a mess of his scholastic career and his life, finds himself back home and employed at a subterranean, TWILIGHT ZONE-like gas station–a place of outlaw bikers, ex-Marines, and inebriated tourists. And through his eyes, this distinctive subculture begins to slowly vanish: the louche resort of Atlantic City morphing into its soulless casino incarnation; the farmland and mom-and-pop stores giving way to development.<\/p>\n
