In a celebration of human absurdity, LeVesque slices through society's expectations in this achingly funny novel of questionable choices and dubious decisions. 'It's all a lie. There was never any burning desire to do hair - not to touch it, arrange it, or place adjectives in front of it' So begins the tale of Francis, who triumphs (eventually) over religious cults, corporate cults, beauty school and insane clients in pursuit of a meaningful existence.
A native of Woonsocket, RI, Daniel LeVesque accepted his cosmically assigned career of Cosmetologist after attending the Arthur Angelo School of Cosmetology and Hair Design. His writing has appeared in Punk Globe and numerous anthologies. He currently resides in Oakland, CA. This is his first book.
