Gibby Haynes writes young adult book

Gibby Haynes - Me and Mr. Cigar

Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes has completed a young adult focused coming of age piece of fiction titled Me and Mr. Cigar.

The story is described as "part road trip, part coming-of-age, and part redemption," following the young Oscar Lester on this journey with a touch of magical realism.

Listen to Zach Galifianakis reading an early version of the novel for a teaser. Besides his work with Butthole Surfers, Haynes is a visual artist, a music teacher, and the father of a young son.

The book goes on sale Jan. 14 via Soho Teen.
