South Of The Pumphouse by Les Claypool

South Of The Pumphouse by Les Claypool

A debut novel from the art-rock pioneer and frontman of Primus, Les Claypool.

"[Claypool's] characters' escalating savagery culminates in a satisfyingly unsettling conclusion." --Publishers Weekly

A dark, clever tale of two brothers, a fishing trip, misconceptions, drugs and murder, South of the Pumphouse 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 and hallucinogenic tutorial 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.

Les Claypool established himself as the most original rock bassist in the 1990s, as frontman 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.
