First time short-storyist and fictional-essayist Matteo Scopa brings you this raucous collection of twenty-two timeless short stories and fictional essays, running the literary gamut from intentionally comedic and intentionally dramatic, all the way down to unintentionally comedic and unintentionally dramatic--and also there's one murder mystery in there, too. Whether you're looking to try something new; interested in a relatively inexpensive source of kindling; morbidly psychotic; helplessly Fox News-dependent; a despondent former police officer; all of the above or just a good old-fashioned "fan" of structured words, this collection is sure to possibly delight! Hey there Johnny, why don't you just set that illicit smoking implement down for a second or two. Okay, now go ahead and use those newly-freed fingers to hold this book toward your face. You got it? Alright, now look down at the different pages with your eyes--preferably in the designated sequence--and try to go ahead and continuously interpret all those Latin symbols, with the occasional assistance of your cavity-riddled occipital lobe, and the decaying frontal portion of your lost-cause neocortex. Throw in a little cerebellum, and you probably won't be disappointed, maybe! Per the requirements of logic, there's an even chance you'll either love, hate or find yourself completely indifferent to His Early Work--so don't delay, read it today! Or tomorrow, please.
