Dan Schell does not make a strong showing in "The Road to Fluffer," his first novel. The story is far too similar to the Canadian film "Hard Core Logo" for me to be comfortable.
The narrator, Darrell Steiner, is a music writer assigned to tour with the band Numb Skull. Mr. Schell must have personal experience shepherding a band around the mid-west because the events in the story ring true. We learn a lot about the bottom end of the professional music business, and that is OK.
The similarity to HCL aside, the problem with the novel is that there is no real plot. We just follow the band around from gig to gig in crummy mid-western weather. Things happen but nothing particular. There is no character development, no growth, nothing at all.
