Synopsis
Novels about the blue-collar world are rare: Seldom does someone near the cellar of society escape to tell the tale. Eric Miles Williamson joined the Laborers Union when he graduated from high school in 1979 and spent seven years as a gunite construction worker, witnessing atrocities that don't make the evening news. Two-Up is Williamson's fictional account of a journey through the nightmare of the American labor inferno.

Review
"To read Eric Miles Williamson is to encounter the grim humor of a blue-collar Nathaniel West or the fierceness of a male Flannery O'Connor."-Robert Phillips "Two-Up is a comi-tragic, western story of gunite workers, the Short-Timers of the construction work genre. Which, of course, there is none. If there did happen to be more than two other books of its kind, I assure you that this surrealistic, hyper-real novel would still be the very best."-Dagoberto Gilb"
