Richard Hell's second novel, GODLIKE, is set largely in the early 70s, but structured as a middle-aged poet's 1997 notebooks and drafts for a memoir-novel.

The book recounts the story of a young man's affair with a remarkable teenage poet. GODLIKE is a novel of compelling originality and transcendent beauty.

"[Hell's] every move and word reveal a naked, impassioned intelligence in the throes of the only truly rock & roll artistic convulsion"--Lester Bangs.
