Buddy Novel is Today’s ‘Odd Couple.’ New Book Sets Goofball Neighbors on Florida Vacation.
Ocala, FL, July 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Fans of “The Odd Couple,” “The Sunshine Boys” and “Sideways” will love “The Never Pals,” the uproarious new buddy novel from author Rocky Kuznik.
Just released by Outskirts Press, “The Never Pals” introduces readers to Frank Bingham and January Thornton, two goofy neighbors that couldn’t be more different who suddenly decide one day to get away from it all with a trip to sunny Miami Beach.
Kuznik, whose short stories have appeared in national publications, here shines with a gift for richly detailed character development and dialogue that crackles with wit. Frank’s a talented car salesman who could sell iceboxes to Eskimos. Jan’s a hotel chef and restaurant manager with a deeply unsatisfying work life. Both of them have a knack for getting into hilarious disputes--and trouble--with their bosses and others around them.
Neighbors for 12 years, they’ve done little to get to know each other. Then these unique personalities, united by their mutual unfulfillment in work and relationships, opt to spend an entire vacation together.
And watch out. What follows is a wacky tropical journey of flattering women, questioning hotel operators, surly cab drivers and truly awful customer service. Before it’s over, they’ll even be held up by an 85-year-old grandmother on a bus--all while embarking on a voyage of personal discovery that could change their outlook on life forever.
Can the two find something to liven up their stale lifestyles? Can they find love amid the tanned bodies of South Beach? And how in the world can two men get into so much trouble?
The Never Pals is now available through Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and the online bookstore of Outskirts Press, at outskirtspress.com/store.php.
