Dishpig

Product Description Dishpig is an explosive, uncensored rendition of life as a dishwasher/unpublished writer. Written in a style that jumps off the page it chronicles with an unapologetic, gritty gusto the barroom adventures of a young down and out writer, his friends, and the characters they meet in the bars and basement parties of urban Winnipeg. At the same time surreal, philosophical and street-wise, it stands apart from the conventional idea of what literature should be. From the search for love, to literary accomplishment, to a general idea of what it means to exist, Dishpig is a street-corner marvel for the senses full of desperation, fulfillment and an abundance of humor. About the Author Tony Nesca was born in Torino, Italy in 1965, and brought to Canada at the age of three. He was raised in Winnipeg but was brought back to Italy several times until finally settling in Winnipeg at the age of fifteen in 1980. He taught himself how to play guitar and formed an original rock and roll band in 1984, playing the bars around Winnipeg until 1990. He eventually traded his guitar for a commodore 64 and began writing at the age of twenty-six. He has now published six chapbooks of short stories and poetry, and is in the process of publishing his first novel, Dishpig. He currently resides in Winnipeg.
