The Garbage Times/White Ibis

Two Novellas

By: Sam Pink

Narrated by: Tom Fria

From the freezing alleys of Chicago to the dew-blanketed bayou of Florida. From bouncing drunks and cleaning up puke to biking through the swamp, laughing at peacocks. Freeze to thaw. Filth and broken glass and black water backed up in showers; lizards and Girl Scouts and themed birthday parties.

A baby rat freed from the bottom of a dumpster becomes a white ibis wandering the wet driveway after a storm. Goodbye, hello, goodbye. It was the garbage times; it was time for something else.

A tale of two tales, connected by a mysterious sunlit portal.

This books is awesome

I think this book is unlike anything I’ve heard/read in a long time. It made me feel like things can happen and that’s what life and literature is, right?

Wild And Weird And Awesome

Love me some Sam Pink and this one is definitely his best yet. Bazookas that shoot kitty cats? Yes, please. Three Thumbs Up!

Hell yes!

Damn, I loved this. Weird, cool, and funny as hell. Thanks so much to the author AND narrator for the work.

Incredibly real and insane

Sam Pink's new book does not fail to impress. He's one of the coolest humans writing today. Solid, gritty read by Tom Fria. Love it.
