The Motel Life

the long version

The night it happened I was drunk, almost passed out, and I swear to God a bird came flying through my motel room window . . .Narrated by Frank Flannigan, The Motel Life tells the story of how he and his brother Jerry Lee take to the road in a bid to escape the hit-and-run accident which kick-starts the narrative. Written with huge compassion, and an eye for the small details of life, it has become one of the most talked about debuts of recent years.
