Having just broken up with a drug-addled boyfriend as Summer 2001 begins, Josh Conti thinks the rest of the year will be easy. He works blocks from the WTC, photographs the terrorist attacks on his city as he runs for his life, and documents the pre-9\/11 joviality and post-9\/11 uncertainty through emails and narrative. Immediately after 9\/11, he faces a myriad of ups and downs that include bomb scares, anthrax-laced letters, and threats of job termination. He experiences the demise of a relationship as each party deals with the attack on his city in different ways, and even finds himself stalked by a gay former marine. Acerbic-wit-filled narrative compels readers to laugh their way through fears and toward renewed spirits in Charlie Casso's debut novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharlie Casso writes with the acerbic wit of David Sedaris and the NYC stylings of Augusten Burroughs. Better yet, he punctuates his premiere novel, GOING DOWN AND MOVING ON, with vivacious photography that rivals David LaChapelle. Charlie is a proud New York City native.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 242\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 7.99 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48709402919161,"sku":"9780985983109","price":22.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/NC18HwBz6O9780985983109.webp?v=1784923788","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/going-down-and-moving-on-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
