Some Sort of Ugly

It’s 1992. Kurt Cobain is alive, flannel is everywhere, and Hamlet Burns is starting college. Little does he know he faces four years of rowdy roommates, STDs, and ill-timed explosions of gas. Along the way, Ham drinks a few beers, breaks a few hearts, and has a near-fatal brush with Hootie and the Blowfish.Some Sort of Ugly is the tale of Ham’s journey from boy to man, and the women that help him get there.The book is a mix of raunchy humor and nostalgic wisdom, and a true coming-of-age journey.Praise for Some Sort of Ugly“Some Sort of Ugly is both beautiful and ugly in the way life is both beautiful and ugly. It's a hell of a cast of characters here--Ham, Drain-O, Gloria, all of them. Graziano captures the time and place pitch-perfectly, and more than anything, it's funny. Not a lot of people write really good humor, but Graziano pulls it off effortlessly and manages to give us a little to think about in the process. It's a hell of a fun ride.” – Dan Crocker, Trailer Park Quarterly
