John Patrick Higgins is a writer of long and short stories, screenplays and plays. He has had bad teeth for as long as he can remember and you might expect him, being English, not to notice. But he has noticed, and he’s doing something about it. His new book, Teeth, recounts his journey from a mouthful of moist gravel to a pristine, pacific smile, with the Pole-star wattage of a Hollywood A-lister.

Get it now from Sagging Meniscus Press and read about John's musings on his blog.
