Big Wheel at the Cracker Factory

Date: 
2003
Edition: 
1st
Abstract: 
"Big Wheel at the Cracker Factory starts in an ice cream truck and ends at an absinthe bar. From crud rock parties to the Billy Graham Crusade, from Digital Underground to the MLA convention, the book follows Mickey's career as a college writing instructor through his side jobs as an ice cream man, stand-up comedian, haunted house character and horribly inept house sitter. The jobs begin out of financial necessity, but become more of a diversion, and almost an obsession, as Mickey discovers what he wants to do with his life, and then what he wants to do next."
