Product Description

From the Author
A comedy for the new millennium.
"Right Here, Right Now," like my first two books, "Platitudes," and "Home Repairs," is a dark, erotic and topical comedy. This one revolves around an enormously successful motivational speaker who one day snaps and turns his business into a cult. Some people call him a charlatan, just another infomercial con man, but inside his own fevered imagination, Ashton Robinson is absolutely sincere. I wrote the book before the Heavan's Gate cult disaster and before zealots started showing up in Jerusalem awaiting the apocalypse, but many of the fictional elements of my protagonist's religion seem to be cropping up all over the map. Go figure. And apart from its literary merits, "Right Here, Right Now," has lots and lots of naughty bits. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best satire in a looooong time, 16 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Usually, when young writers try to get satirical, they get too broad and dumb. Ellis, on the other hand, has a deft touch. You laugh out loud sometimes, but mostly you laugh inside. His understated use of language is a treat. And can I just say that I really enjoy a good, fresh sex scene, and Ellis has NO problem delivering the goods in that department. It's a breezy read, but you feel like it was time well-spent when you're finished.

4.0 out of 5 stars Absurd, clever, and fun to read, 13 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I really liked Trey Ellis' clever, funny third book. His talent has responded well to the wider platform here and demonstrates a maturing vision. I anticipate enjoying Mr. Ellis skewer other American idiosyncracies with his absurdist wit, as he clearly enjoys that territory as demonstrated in RH,RN. It's also refreshing to see a writer so clearly have fun with form in his work, and it makes for an engaging read. I'm anxious to see what or whom this emerging talent will poke some fun at next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right Here, Right Now, Right On!, 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Ellis does a marvelous job here of completing the thematic lattice he started with his first two works. While Platitudes has the exuberant if uneven gait of the young thoroughbred, RHRN marks the confident gallop of a literary stallion. He may be furlongs from the finish, perhaps, but Ellis has accomplished, in my opinion, a rare novelistic triple crown.
