Prepare to embark on a thrilling comedic adventure seen through the booze-blurred eyes of Keesey Cypher, a government-trained killer with an ill-fated abundance of classified memories who has since resigned himself to a regrettable existence, sipping away his tainted past. It is this powerful thirst coupled with Cypher's hunger for games of chance that leads him to New Orleans' coziest dive-bar the day after Fat Tuesday where one night of seeming misfortune leads to a frighteningly funny reality of subversive politics, corporate greed, backwards logic, and star (double)-crossed romance. In this gripping social satire of modern times, Me and Bobby McGee pokes fun at the inane absurdities ingrained in our society, proving that freedom is truly subjective and karma is not just a philosophy, but a fate that is unwavering. And as an added bonus, for the careful reader and music fan, there are subtle connections throughout the novel to the classic folk song that inspired its title. In a world of terrible truths and impending doom, find out what happens when the only man with the power to stop it... decides not to.

Industry Reviews

His writing is only believed after read. Raw humor embedded in every sentence, a masterpiece of comedic literature. The book is not hard to put down ... it's impossible.

--Gary Sorkin (Pacific Book Review)

"Coenson creates an America that is both surreal, and frighteningly all too real, where the comedic and tragic are often one and the same thing... I highly recommend the dark comedic novel Me and Bobby McGee to anyone seeking a novel that is both profound and entertaining in equal portions."

--Wayne Hurlbert (Blog Business World)

"... A darkly-comedic, socio-political road trip in the disturbing legacy of Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson and Warren Ellis... This is the "Big Lebowski" of literature - addle-brained, slightly reprehensible, clever-as-hell"

--Jared Shurin (Pornokitsch)

"The U.S. government further complicates matters, as do extreme right-wing religious groups who support the selling of babies as an alternative to abortion...and then things start to get weird!"

--Midwest Book Review
