Dear Vito by Mickey Z.: James Hemming is a personal trainer who, in his spare time, enters air guitar contests mimicking Vito Bratta of the old hair metal band, White Lion. He meets the waif-like Indigo at the gym and recruits her into a plot to make himself famous while resurrecting Vito’s legend. The tale unfolds through a pasticcio of flashbacks, diary entries, letters to Vito, and related vignettes that suddenly segue off to introduce back-stories, underlying themes, and other unexpected intersections. It's funny, quirky, perverted, and guaranteed to provoke a response.; "Mickey Z. continues to develop his unique American ouvre, this time focusing on lightning-fast tales of interconnected urban blight. It's easy to talk about punk rock writing, but Mickey really does write as if he doesn't give a fuck but knows what must be said."
