About this listen

In King Biscuit, Michael Loyd Gray returns once again to the fictional small town of Argus, Illinois, (the setting of his novels Well Deserved, Not Famous Anymore, and The Last Stop), to tell a coming-of-age story set in 1966. With the Vietnam War hovering in the background. Seventeen-year-old Billy Ray Fleener, frustrated by the narrow confines of Argus, seeks adventure and a look at the wider world in a novel that puts him on a collision course with the famous as well as infamous.

Critic Reviews

“With a style that is sensitive, rugged, and thoroughly American, Gray captures the turmoil of a nation through the eyes of one of its native sons.”— Dana Micheli, writer and editor with Writers in the Sky Creative Writing Services

“Gray bores deeply into each of his characters, shoving aside all extraneous elements until we are left only with their humanity.“— Monique Raphel High, author of Between Two Worlds
