Bio

William Hageman is the author of two books. Living in the O, taking place in the early '80s, is a romantic black comedy between two misfits -- Olney Garkle, a sybarite manqué, and Maggie Bebette, a bumpkin version of Louise Brooks' Lulu -- who wind up in Paris, the city where l'amour is meant to be anything but ludicrous. The Moon Food Cafe, the sequel, finds failed lover Olney Garkle back in California. His immediate goal is to put an end to his life of hedonism-on-a-shoestring by getting a job. With modest bills in the mailbox of a modest apartment he can then begin the book that he hopes will give vent to his greatest outrage: the triumph of politics over people, and resolve his greatest conflict: the battle between lust and spirituality. After a morning of surreal job interviews, Olney repairs to the Moon Food Cafe, one of those ubiquitous Chinese-American eateries whose menus were dittoed in the year dot, to make his last stand against a future that may not exist.
