Fizz - Softcover
Meet Ray Pulaski. With no real personality of his own, Pulaski reinvents himself as Ray Style, rock star and neighborhood gigolo...only the neighborhood isn't buying his story. Soon Ray sets off across the country in search of the reasons for his derangement, but neither Ray Style nor another new personality, consumate gentleman Ray Proper, are about to give up the fight for Ray's soul. Can Ray put his jigsaw puzzle of a life together?

About the Author:
Paul A. Toth lives in Florida. His first novel Fizz and its successor Fishnet are available now.
Review:
Paul A. Toth is a unique, startling new voice in American literature. Part Bukowski, part Hemingway, part Freud, and, well, part Toth, every sentence in Fizz is packed with a fantastic punch. Readers will be engaged with Ray Pulaski. Certainly, Paul A. Toth is a talent to watch. --Felicia C. Sullivan, author of The Sky Isn't Visible from Here: Scenes from a Life
Fizz is a fun, fun read folks...Toth does ome wonderful things through the eyes and life of a kid dropped shortly after birth in a horrible accident (or was it?). Ray Pulaski s world is ever changing (as is his name) as he struggles to find the answers to who he is and why...Ray s dilemma is complicated not only by his 'slowness' (and a possible mother from hell), but also by all the people around him as their cruelty (even when trying to be kind) sends Ray from one search to another. Toth shows how cruel we all can be without even trying...and how life s lessons are always learned the hard way. Great stuff, really. Bravo! Fizz sizzles...a compelling read that doesn t let anyone off the hook. --Charlie Stella, author of Charlie Opera, Shakedown, Cheapskates and many more.
Paul A. Toth's first novel, can be summed up in two words: 'read it.' A combination of Fight Club and The Adventures of Don Quixote, Toth's venture into the cold (and funny) streets of one man's hell is also a savage satire of society's hell-bent fascination with fame and the destruction of those we put on a pedestal. Sharp, Mr. Toth! Very sharp! --Felicia C. Sullivan

Toth opens Fizz with a bang and never looks back. His writing is fierce and his characterizations fiercer, erasing the line between delusion and reality while never losing track of the story's heart. --Whitney Pastorek
