Description: "Ratz Are Nice (PSP) is lightning as literature - disorienting, disturbing, and dangerous. A white-hot explosion of oi, reggae, ska, and punk rhythms tells the story of a volatile combination of North American skinhead cultures existing in uneasy balance. Edison, a creole skinhead, recounts in startling multiethnic lyrical phrasing the terrifying and tragic interlocking stories of Sparker and Quex, leaders of two rival crews; twisted and tweaked Prochain; and Elie, a young freshcut who connects them all.

Visceral imagery combines with startling language in this challenging novel, where sexuality and ethnicity blur, and skinheads and rudeboys overlap with fascism, the Nazi occult, and street punk culture."--BOOK JACKET.
