Innis has done dirt with some of the worst society has to offer, cultivated a deep-seated bitterness towards corporate America, and staved off full-blown misogyny—all while nursing a healthy drug habit. The Life and Times of Innis E. Coxman is a novel chronicling the arc of a socially awkward kid into that of a world-weary man...and criminal. From the elementary playground to a cold jail cell, experience teaches him that people are rarely what they seem and that treachery comes in many guises. The school system affords him no protection, dubious friends erode trust in his fellow man, arrogant bosses instill contempt for the working world, abusive lawmen all but crush his faith in justice, and a crippling 15-year dependency to narcotics nearly sends him to the grave. Embracing his role as an outcast, Innis uses fast times, bad women, and hard drugs to seek rock bottom. An unruly mountain goat is his closest friend, guns and sarcasm his weapons of choice. For years he played near the edge, hoping the next misstep would hurl him into the void. But as a man in his late 30s with a renewed sense of purpose, he discovers that forgiveness is possible for those willing to receive it. That atonement is the first step on the road to salvation.
