Washington is a city known for it’s straight-laced, white-collar kind of overtones. But when the lights go down, and the ties come off, you never know who’ll you’ll find deep in the underground music scene.
R.S. Moore, who was a health care lobbyist in the early 2000s, has taken his experience as just one of those people and turned it into a tongue-in-cheek novel called “Dickfish.” The book follows the stories of six young D.C. professionals as they make their way around the city’s personal, political and party adventures.
“’Dickfish’ is a mock memoir,” Moore said. “While the characters are not mirrored on me or any other particular individuals, they do reflect the personal choices which I have made to live the lusty life I always wanted to live.”
“After spending years as a Washington lobbyist — while actually existing for midnight mania in dark, dank punk clubs — I finally decided to flee religious, right-wing and sexually repressed American for secular, socialist and sensual Mother Europe.”
Sounds like quite a life, fiction or not.
