Soon to be a major US TV series, by the producers of Entourage. Hyena is a colle
ction of autobiographical stories by Jude Angelini, which takes the reader on hi
s journey of heartbreak, depravity and hilarity, deftly moving between his adult
life and childhood growing up in a factory town outside of Detroit. Its explora
tion of drugs, sex, and the human condition compares to Charles Bukowski, Hunter
S. Thompson, Artie Lange, and Jim Norton. It also captures the hardscrabble cul
ture, language, and landscape of post-industrial Detroit, from which came some o
f pop culture's most compelling artists. Each story is told with brutal honesty,
yet maintains a gallows humour that will leave you shaking your head in disbeli
ef.
