description: From the memoirs of WheelchairJunkie.com Editor, Mark E. Smith, comes this full-throttle collection of short stories. Smith's true tales like "Racing for Pink Slips," "Selling the Infirmed," and "Drinking with Henry Rollins," dive into the depths of disability experience--raw, revealing, and raucous. From parenting to partying like a rock star, this collection is an inspired portrait of not just living with disability, but truly "living." Maybe you've read Smith's childhood autobiography, "Growing Up With Cerebral Palsy" (WRS Publishing, 1995), or were inspired by his contributing authorship in the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" best-selling series. Or, maybe you've followed his infamous career via WheelchairJunkie.com and countless articles in publications ranging from "Sports 'N Spokes" to "Malevolence" to the "San Francisco Chronicle." In any case, "Too Fast" is Mark E. Smith to the core, with never-before-published pieces, intertwined with selected classics like "Flirting with Fame," roaring through a life of wild wonderment and uninhibited disability.Whether you're among the tens of thousands of Smith's monthly readers, or new to his empowered journey through disability, "Too Fast" is the literary equivalent of rocket fuel for life. Buckle your seatbelt, and grab this book.
