Monaco
Monaco Cool was first published in 1993 by Enigma Books, an imprint of Bartleby Press. The author's name appeared as Robert Westgate, though this was a pseudonym for Robert Eringer.
Here is a cheeky, irreverent look at Monaco, and the quirky characters that populate the fairy-tale Principality.
A trendy Tex-Mex saloon in the "native" quarter becomes the author's second home as he attempts survival in the world's swankiest neighborhood. The Principality's most eccentric characters cling to Le Texan like algae to a Venice wharf--it is the hub of Monaco Cool.
Down the long Alamo Bar, Crazy George waxes philosophical about the topless season, past and future.
Shorty is running around, expecting Ringo Starr for nachos, and Roberto, from Milan, is on the prowl for blonde American girls too young for Roman Polanski.
Super-spook Jake Miller, known as "Pickleman," is sipping red wine and whispering about a secret mission, probably undertaken in his bathtub. He's keeping an eye on Barry the Lamster, a reclusive investment guru and self-styled "freedom fighter" who returns Jake's glare from a bad table near the door.
And Prince Albert, in blue jeans and a cowboy shirt, is throwing back slammers with the boys while his elderly uncle, Prince Louis de Polignac, holds court with strolling mariachis.
Monaco Cool's breezy style and charming blend of brio, zest and menace make this a wickedly good read.
