The Asphalt Warrior

Gary Reilly

Introducing Denverite Brendan Murphy, known as "Murph" to the rest of the world.

Murph lives alone in his crows' nest apartment. He fries a hamburger for every meal. He does '"the dish," then channel surfs for reruns of Gilligan's Island.

Murph is a radical minimalist.

He strives to earn no more money as a driver for Rocky Mountain Taxi Company than his needs require. He is determined to stay out of the lives of those he transports. He struggles with first issue and he is spectacularly bad with the second.

Come prowl the mean streets of Denver with Murph and ponder the meaning of the world and all sorts of deep questions, such as: Why would anyone want to do anything?

Praise for this book

"What makes this book worthwhile is the voice and that rare feeling of encountering a truly original fictional creation, whose narrative voice is imbued with the author's own personality and idiosyncratic worldview." - Booklist "Reilly is a master wordsmith." - The Denver Post
