Beskrivelse
This new collection of poetry and short stories explores the labyrinths of suburban living, once upon a time. The characters make their ways - going left, going right, going back. The twin mask of comedy and tragedy is, of course, at hand often.
Also by Fairleigh Brooks
Fiction
Mr. Willy & Arthur
An imagined meeting between two of the most iconic characters in American literature, Boo Radley and Willy Loman. The author changes time and fates for both men - just a little for Willy, a great deal for Boo. The result is an intersection of desperation and perseverance.
Notes of a Would-Be Astronaut
"An engaging inner and outer travelogue, replete with vivid descriptions, vignettes of fascinating characters, and inner knots reminiscent of R.D. Laing. This story of Passages-midlife crisis search for self is sure to resonate with many of us, especially those who like to think while they read. Enjoy!" - Stan Franklin, author of Artificial Minds
