Produktbeschreibung
From the author of Small Stories: A Perfectly Absurd Novel, shortlisted by the Chanticleer International Book Awards, 19 Doors ranges far and wide, diving into magical realism and science fiction, then adding a dash of steampunk and surrealism for extra flavor. The collection ricochets from the poignant to the comically absurd, each short story a work of imaginative fiction. - A community remembers the lives they have yet to live. - An intergalactic tour bus arrives in Hollywood ... Montana. - A shopping network super-fan relives every infomercial scenario he watches. - The first sentient being in the universe applies for a job as a sous chef. - A preternatural wind comes to collect a long-owed debt. Through 19 Doors, we are immersed in the unraveling lives of characters who are just like us and nothing like us. Whether they succeed or succumb, conform or rebel, we are treated to a compilation of stories that are frequently fraught, often fun, and always fantastic.
Autorenporträt
Rob Roy O'Keefe is believed to be a carbon-based life form currently residing in a lifeboat on a container ship registered out of Switzerland.The leading theory is that he subsists on breakfast pastries, palmetto leaves, and almond extract, although none of this has been verified by credible sources.Prior to taking up his current vocation, he founded the world's only dust museum, but had to abruptly close after a run-in with a group of vigilante office cleaners. These days he passes his time trying to spell "marsuipial" ... "marzupial" ... "marsuipal" ... oh, forget it.
