In "The Sub," a young man starting his teaching by being a substitute teacher. He career maneuvers in and out of the classroom, observing the academic circus from kids smoking behind the gym to drive-by shootings, from explaining endoplasmic reticulum to counseling pregnant teenagers. As a writer bred on punk rock, Jimmy Jazz delivers a novel riddled with the woes and slang of the misspent adolescents he encounters. The melting pot of public education is on high boil. "The Sub" steps up to the podium with confidence. The smell fear. He doesn't stand a chance. "The Sub" is written with a brevity, wit, and intensity somewhat akin to an Ernest Hemingway colliding with Jack Kerouac. Highly recommended.Jazz, Jimmy is the author of 'Sub A Novel', published 1996 under ISBN 9781884615153 and ISBN 1884615155.
