The Redneck Kafka and other stories is a chapbook of stories written between 2000 - 2005. They range from surreal to realistic. But they're mostly surreal. Even when they're being realistic. Because humanity is surreal. It's surreal because we already live in complete freedom. Although most of us don't really know it. Two of the stories feature Danny Sullivan, my alter-ego who is nothing like me. The book is, of course, complete biography and complete fiction and nothing in between. I don't believe in linear time so none of the stories contain actual memories. Of mine, that is. There are a lot of future and past memories of other people, who are also me, because I and they are made of the universe (if you believe that Zen bullshit). It took five years to collect a chapbook's worth of material. So look for my next chapbook in or around 2012 or somesuch. A couple of the stories were first published in the legendary online journal, Babel Magazine. Another, my first print publication, was published in The Whirligig.
I am awesome. My writing is awesome. Therefore, you want to read my awesomeness. Right? Okay........ It's here. Buy it. You'll like it. No promises, though.
