Описание: South Jersey, circa 1983: A distinctive sub-region, as if a section of the south or midwest was grafted onto the east coast. Francis, a defrocked college student who has made a mess of both his scholastic career and his life, finds himself back home at the Jersey shore and gainfully employed at a sprawling, subterranean gas station.PETROLEUM TRANSFER ENGINEER is not just Franciss story, but is also the chronicle of a time and place that is slowly disappearing: The farmland, little eateries, and raucous bars giving way to development; the louche resort of Atlantic City morphing into its soulless casino incarnation. Via the pages of PETROLEUM TRANSFER ENGINEER, Francis must navigate a terrain that is simultaneously familiar and off-kilter. And--somehow--he must struggle to piece his life back together.

REVIEW
Richard Klin masterfully details... the ramshackle world of a young, part-time New Jersey turnpike gas station attendant--an attendant who sees his place as temporary, a purgatory of sorts, courtesy of his breakdown and and premature departure from the hallowed halls of academe. The pace of the novel flows to a brisk and whimsical beat....the beautiful rhythm of Klins quick traveling prose and wit....Klins Petroleum Transfer Engineer balances itself on a satirical seesaw, displaying adept craftwork to maintain the razors edge. Within the bindings, the reader will find just enough realism to relate to and just enough oddity to entertain. --American Book Review
