Hosho McCreesh

In the footsteps of Charles Bukowski comes Hosho McCreesh's magnum opus of drunk poetry. Mammoth in size and scope, A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst is unlike any of McCreesh's previous collections. "A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst is for anyone who's ever had a drinking buddy-and who hasn't? A perfect elegy to the illusions and delusions of alcohol. A book to be tasted and savored." -Mark SaFranko, author of Hating Olivia, and No Strings

Fired from his fast-food job, stunted Millennial Akira Nakimura stumbles on to a lucrative hustle: selling high-quality knockoff designer purses as the real-deal via his dead mother's eBay store. On his south-of-the-border runs, Akira routinely gets in over his obnoxious and over-privileged head -- only finding solace at the Hotel Tulum. What will he do when his hyper-masculine façades crumble and all he's left with is the hard and ugly truth of his life?DrunkSkull Books is proud to present this subtle American allegory and first novel by Hosho McCreesh."Chinese Gucci's main character, Akira, is maddening, endearing, troublesome, wounded, lonely, lazy, and a tremendously enthralling ne'er-do-well. A modern Ignatius J. Reilly selling knock-off Chinese Gucci on eBay. You'll love him and hate him, you'll want to save him and throw him off a building. Hosho McCreesh is a serious talent and Chinese Gucci is a tremendous debut." - Willy Vlautin, author of Don't Skip Out on Me"Hosho McCreesh's Chinese Gucci is a raw portrait of modern American desolation and loneliness. Mesmerizing and unsettling, it takes us from the desert to the dark alleys of the internet. At its center is a lost kid, Akira, caught up in the gears of a wild world. A killer debut novel by one of my favorite contemporary poets." - William Boyle, author of Gravesend and The Lonely Witness"A Catcher in the Rye for the 21st century. Chinese Gucci is honest-at times experimental, at times skinned down to Hosho McCreesh's roots as a poet-and always trying to drill to the core of its drifting, unforgettable protagonist, Akira."- Steph Post, author of Miraculum And A Tree Born Crooked
