Lo incontriamo da ragazzino mentre "scarpagna" verso le Bisacconi (le scuole elementari del paese). Sono gli anni '50 e mentre ruba in una vigna un grappolo di schizzozibibbo, Lupetto, così lo chiamano, vede un uomo alto, con una barba immensa e un vecchio cane. È una divinità pagana, sporca come un letamaio, che gli regala una facoltà meravigliosa: un orologio interno, un orobilogio, che gli consentirà di correre avanti nel tempo.

Ma fare come se niente fosse è difficile, perché l'uomo fatto di salsicce non smette di perseguitarla: spiandola dal bosco vicino a scuola, affacciandosi a una finestra, spuntando da un lampione.

Kevin Welch was just a small-time thug until a brutal encounter made him the pope!

Does he have a choice? Kevin just wanted to get his life back, and the only thing standing between him and that life is a cadre of bloodthirsty bishops and cardinals, furious nuns, hallucinogenic manifestations of Satan ... and his own ineptitude.

Background: Miriam began the day I met a girl for a date in the Indeogwon subway in South Korea (I was a teacher there). She was a Filipina of very small stature. Smaller than a dwarf, and thinner too. She could tell I was shocked; probably nothing new to her. And as she held my hand I was worried people in my neighborhood would think I was a perv holding hands with a student. I brushed off the feeling and we conversed. She told me she was small because when she was young in the Philippines her parents went to a big city so they could make better money for the family. Tragically, the money ...

This isn’t just a story collection—it’s a playground for anyone who’s ever wanted to poke the universe and see ...

The spiritual and comedic journey of two unlikely friends, Mowbray and Turner, who are desperately trying to get back to the city after a drug and booze-fueled weekend at a music festival in the countryside.

L'Empire du bien n'est pas un essai, c'est une charge, une provocation, un éclat de rire grinçant lancé contre le conformisme du monde moderne. Philippe Muray y démonte avec une ironie cinglante les travers d'une époque où le divertissement se confond avec la morale, où la critique est suspecte, où l'enthousiasme obligatoire dicte les règles. Dans la langue au panache aussi superbe qu'excessif d'un moraliste sous nicotine, Muray s'attaque à une société qui transforme tout en fête forcée et où la liberté de penser s'efface derrière le masque du bonheur collectif.

And work our way down through the Life-cycle of the insane house, picking up the jigsaw pieces to work out the deep mystery held within. And the Omega Circle group of friends are back.

"Ashes of the Hollow Crowns" is a poetic odyssey that uses absurdist fiction. Spanning 21 years of visionary exploration, this masterpiece traces the soul of a broken kingdom—and the two unlikely hearts destined to heal it. Once radiant and wise, the kingdom of Eryndor fell to ruin under the weight of its own desires. Greed choked its rulers, selfishness divided its people, and the lust for power drowned its spirit. The land withered. Its kings wore hollow crowns. Its people forgot who they were. But amid the ashes, two souls rose. Caldus Varn, a weary knight burdened by the sins of his ...

This is a collection of bad poems, short stories, rushed parables, and hastily-written diatribes written over the last 4 years. Shut in my home due to the government’s tyrannical response to COVID, I did a lot of reading, thinking, and reflection. During this time, I came to admit to myself a lot of dismal truths about the “true” state of humanity, especially when it is pushed to the limits by fear and doubt. In such cases, Man becomes savage and focuses on the differences in his fellow men; he leans into his raw savageness to bifurcate and destroy. He is primal. He is reckless.
