Obie's Globe-a Go-Go Club flashes the blue and orange neon sign above the door. The din emanating from the place, and sleeping through the woodwork, is mindblowing, and the smell that hangs for three feet around the building is a "combination of beer, smoke, sweat,...disinfectant, and rut, a general stale gaminess so dense it takes impressions, like clay"
Such is the setting for Anne Steinhardt's novel about life in the lower depths, California style.
