Gossip! Gossip! Gossip! The Lizard Club "tells all" about the birth of San Francisco's underground club scene. But who's real and who's not?

William Burroughs, Dennis Cooper, Robert Gluck, and Sarah Schulman praised the late Steve Abbott's first novel, Holy Terror. This follow-up Menippean satire is equally engaging.
