A Shot of Malaria - From the editor

Charlie Soubyʼs A Shot of Malaria is the quintessence of San Francisco sub culture in the early nineties. Fans of Raymond Carver, James St. James, Jack Kerouac and Chuck Palahniuk, will flock to this book to feed off its twisted, poignant truth and wrap themselves in the exquisiteness of the modern beatnik prose. Souby has immortalized an era and shared with us the journey out of purposelessness. Trouble escalates on every page and readers are wrenched through enriched senses, emotions, and psychosis.

This work is a star example of literary artfulness, resonating on all levels with the reader. Vitality erupts from the page in sensory detail, engaging the reader in high definition of the moment with no dullness or bland descriptions. The sex of the book is an emotional hurricane that rips heart strings from those relating to the struggle for intimacy. The mental reader will get delight totally immersed in this case study of addiction. And in splashes here and there we are uplifted from these things to get a glimmer at something transcendent. Soubyʼs A Shot of Malaria speaks multi generationally of a universal plight and honors the confession of desire. His work should be read by any street soldier searching for his grave.
