About the Book
Set in turn-of-the-century Washington, DICKFISH is a prurient peek into the limousine lives of six frisky young professionals, whose twisted histories, complex values and subterranean tunes ultimately reflect—or reject—the modern America of our imaginings.

Nobody winds up covered in glory. But, in the end, as in life, decadent Democrats always find a way to have fun—and dour Republicans never know why.
About the Author
Bred in backwoods America (The South), with no formal schooling (William & Mary) but broad perspective (Jim Crow), R.S. Moore soon escaped to semi-civilization (The East), where for decades he dabbled in politics (without distinction) and dawdled in dives (to hear guitar).
Finally, he fled to Europe (first Brussels, then Paris), where he loves the vision (Pamela) and lives his religion (cafés, claret and smoke—but not in that order).
