The characters in TJ Fuller's debut collection are desperate. They want their lives to mean something. They seek solace in work, validation and hope in others. And they fail. A lot. The songs they sing us hit home--and they hit hard--but not without humor, grace, and some straight-up weirdness.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A darkly funny and sometimes surreal debut collection about people grasping for meaning in a world that keeps slipping sideways.The characters in TJ Fullers debut collection are desperate. They want their lives to mean something. They seek solace in work, validation and hope in others. And they fail. A lot. The songs they sing us hit homeand they hit hardbut not without humor, grace, and some straight-up weirdness.The title story allows the reader to explore, in a Choose Your Own Adventure style, how a young woman navigates the increasingly maddening choices she must make. "Damn Us All" follows a man trying on & swapping out deities like so many pairs of socks, seeking somethinganythingwhich will finally make sense. A door-to-door salesman in "Doorbell Songs" starts snooping in places he doesn't belong and crossing lines he hadn't previously considered, just begging to be caught. "Slim Fit" sees what it would be like to actually live inside a jeans commercial.At times speculative and/or surreal and/or funny-as-hell, these stories set in the Pacific Northwest feature as many Philip Seymour Hoffmans as you can imagine, even more dream versions of yourself, aging backyard wrestlers, homeless gamblers, and much more. Let TJ tell you some tales you wont soon forget. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781943888313
