Fizzsummary

Meet Ray Pulaski. With no real personality of his own, Pulaski reinvents himself as Ray Style, rock star and neighborhood gigolo...only the neighborhood isn't buying his story. Soon Ray sets off across the country in search of the reasons for his derangement, but neither Ray Style nor another new personality—consummate gentleman Ray Proper—are about to give up the fight for Ray's soul. Can Ray put his jigsaw puzzle of a life together?

Praise for Fizz

"Michigan writer Toth tells a surrealistic and satirical story of a young loser who reinvents himself as a winner, with unintended results.”
Detroit Free Press

“Paul Toth opens Fizz with a bang and never looks back. His writing is fierce and his characterizations fiercer, erasing the line between delusion and reality while never losing track of the story’s heart.”
—Whitney Pastorek
