Ruining It For Everybody

"Jim Knipfel first laid bare the failings of his body (Slackjaw) and then the failings of his mind (Quitting the Nairobi Trio). Now he looks into the messy matter of his spirit and discovers that failure is not inevitable: Knipfel's newfound creed, which he calls "Buddhism for Drunkards," offers salvation to heathens everywhere."—BOOK JACKET.
