Of Men And Maggots

Like much of Blasini's work, Of Men and Maggots blurs the line between fiction and raw autobiography, drawing from real-life friends, lovers, and drifters. Narrated by John Poston-one of Blasini's alter egos-it's a cross-country odyssey that peels back the glossy veneer of America, revealing the world through back alleys and forgotten streets. Gritty yet darkly humorous, the novel follows two friends navigating addiction, homelessness, and hollow romance, bound by the one thing that endures: friendship. A time-honored road novel with a gut-punch of honesty, Of Men and Maggots is a testament to survival, connection, and the beauty found in life's wreckage.
