Daytona Teddy Riggs - Hardcover
by Drew Buxton (Author)
A most anticipated book by Our Culture, Marie Claire, Kirkus, The Millions, The Southern Review of Books, and Debutiful
It's 1996 in Corpus Christi, Texas. Teddy Riggs--call him Daytona--will stop at nothing to win the World's Strongest Man competition. He spends his days training and downing as many calories as possible. Cast out from his oil-rich family, his main companion is a tape set by self-help guru Pat Dupree that he plays on repeat.
When a Dupree seminar is set to take place in Houston just before a regional qualifying event, Teddy knows the universe is aligning in his favor. But as the seminar approaches, a new relationship with Tammy, a local bodybuilder, brings all his crushing insecurities to the forefront, and he must confront who he really is beneath the muscles.
At once an outrageous comedy, a biting satire of the self-help industry, and an earnest look at the facets of obsession, Buxton's riotous debut novel chronicles how masculinity, privilege, and mental illness intersect, all through the eyes of the memorable menace Teddy Riggs.
