How Best to Avoid Dying
Synopsis: This collection of short stories weaves complimentary tales of death as diverse as spelling bees turned deadly; the unexpected side effects of Jesus miracles; and even a talking penis. Exposing the absurdities of contemporary bohemia, Egerton s collection is dark, funny and wholly original. From stage to page, this comedic transfer will appeal to the same smart, urban crowd who also loves Neal Pollack, or the Bret Easton Ellis of 20 years ago. |
