A Fan's Notes

See the full ranking

A Fan's Notes is the horrible and hilarious account of a long failure. Our narrator is the ultimate unreconstructed male. His primary concerns are booze, sex and the New York Giants. But things go very wrong for him - he drinks too much, he's impotent and the Giants start to loose. And so we follow his boozy trail through two failed marriages, many bars and intermittent visits to Avalon Valley - a private home for the mentally ill. Shockingly politically incorrect, terribly self-indulgent but more than redeemed by its unremitting honesty and insight this is the unforgettable story of a man laid bare.
