Description:
An alternate universe? A different dimension? The "id" of America? Meet Anslenot and his tormentor/confidant, a giant tarantula, as they wander through a blasted, desecrated landscape of broken ideals and shattered hopes. In this place, nothing is right. The Militant Lambs fight with the Opposition, and no one knows whose side who is on. Add to that Martians...Venusians...Elvis... To top it off, Anslenot is hounded by his dysfunctional family and upbringing...and legendary surrealist Franz Kafka makes Anslenot his honorary uncle. Nighmarish, strange, bizarre--the way things are to be? Or the way things--really are?Also included in this collection is the novella The Humphrey Bogart Blues, a sympathetic look at Marilyn Monroe, who had she only hooked up with the Martians......and twenty-eight additional stories, published and unpublished, that testify to the breadth and scope of writing of, as one editor has stated, one of the top writers of Magic Realism.
