We were all named either Nikki or Daryl, and shared a shameless love of spam, hot dogs, basketball, fried rice, and ketchup. And this painfully smart, funny, and uplifting book continues to unify, because it is, like we all are, so damn different. When General MacArthur returned, all he did was get his goddamn pants wet, but whenever I return to Rolling the R’s, I end up wetting my own pants. What a wonderful book. Twenty years later… and I’m still laughing. \u003cbr\u003e— Paul Beatty, author of The Sellout\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a portrait in song of desire and restraint, sex and retribution.
