Chronicling a fantasy history of women's professional tennis, the multi-volume comic novel FAMEPUNK opens with the victory of a strange local unknown over a tournament favorite at America's premier tennis event. In US OPEN 1987, the mystery player's wins pile up as a reporter tracks her story deep into South Brooklyn’s underground of gamblers, gangsters, exiles, impresarios, and ageless Romeos.
