The H.O.G. Syndrome
The H.O.G. Syndrome is a very short "novel" I wrote when I was 12 years old, the first draft in one of those nifty '70s "blank books" (it had a cover patterned with denim and butterfly appliques), the second draft on the monstrous blue electric typewriter on which I later wrote Lost Souls. Though The H.O.G. Syndrome owes far too large a debt to Archie comics, I still like it and think that -- with its cheerful characters, emphasis on dialogue, and food (though definitely not foodie) focus -- in a weird ways it's closer to the Liquor books than anything I wrote in the interim. In places it's embarrassing enough that I was tempted to revise it, but I present it here exactly as it was written circa 1979. At any rate, it is my gift to you. I hope you enjoy it.
