Raw

Raw is the story of a man who takes adversity - the loss of a high paying, high powered job - and turns it into chaos in his quest to simplify his life. Moving from Manhattan NY to Manhattan KS, pursuing a dream to work with, learn from and one day become the peer of his hero, an acclaimed writer long since considered washed up. Despite his research, analysis and outlines, his plan follows a course that is anything but precise; detoured and sometimes derailed by characters and events he could never have invented; a one handed bartender, an underground dairy, a man named President McKinley, and militant members of a lactation support group. Carl Krauthammer is about to embark on a humorous and enlightening journey to find out that a man can go from point A to point B and end up where he was when he started, and way beyond where he dreamed of being. Raw is a novel that is more timely today than it was when Inknbeans Press originally published it in 2010. A story that dives headfirst into the battle of personal freedoms and the movement to resist government interference, Raw is both humorous and human and is anything but homogenized.
