Dogshit Park & other atrocities
Todd Brendan Fahey
Far Gone Books
Street: 03.31.14

Todd Brendan Fahey’s book Dogshit Park & other atrocities was one of the most fun and quotable books I’ve read in some time. Fahey has created a series of laughable shenanigans and presented them with a strong authorial finesse— leaving nothing for the reader’s mind but to wander. It drips and haunts, with drug nuance a-plenty, and, depending on your side of the fence, it could be equal halves hilarious and terribly, terribly frightening. The story moves you forward, but Fahey’s way with words is clearly the star of this production. It’s descriptive and verbally illustrative in a way that we are drawn into this world to the point that our heels seem to leave marks behind us. Fahey will have you, despite the nuisance of your better judgment. This second second book in the Fahey catalogue will only drive other engaged readers to ask about a third. It hints at wordplay and intellect in the way many writers in the ’70s wrote, which, in turn, lined the walls of college dorms and sent many a young spirit out to explore the incedible world right out their back door. Bravo, Fahey—I hope to hear from you again soon. –Benjamin Tilton

Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Gonzo!

By R.U. Sirius - May 5, 2014

Is this still permitted? Todd Fahey, who wrote the wonderful novel Wisdom's Maw, unleashes some authentic literary mania in a tradition that reminds me most of all of Terry Southern, with some Hunter S. and some Bill Burroughs tossed in.

Dogshit Park etc. is the real deal. Not just flashy hip jive, it digs deep -- hitting at a gut level. Wicked satires of Amerika from beyond the pale of political correctness.

  Chops, Chutzpah, Talent! Read This Book.

By Steve Elliott - March 11, 2015

By all rights a “gonzo journalist” before he’d ever read Hunter S. Thompson or become aware there was such a term, Todd Fahey’s fondness for illicit substances wouldn’t be enough to distinguish him from thousands of other would-be “writers on drugs” — if it weren’t for his talent.

And, oh what a talent it is. The sheer heft of Fahey’s writing chops — evident throughout his new collection, pretty quickly bulldozes away any initial skepticism one might have about anyone besides Dr. Thompson himself engaging in this sort of “participatory journalism.” Todd actually pulls it off, through sheer chutzpah and talent. Although Fahey is keenly aware of the inevitable comparisons — and the inevitable influence, now that he’s aware of Thompson’s body of work — at no point does Fahey’s work feel like an imitation of the good Doctor. Todd has a distinct voice of his own.
