| Publisher Description: Tupac Shakur had THREE "Number One" albums come out after his death. John Kennedy Toole won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for a book published eleven YEARS after he died. And Vincent Van Gogh didn't live to see a single cent of the MILLIONS his art eventually commanded (but at least he never had to hear that horrible song Don Mclean sang about him ) Granted, even dead, all of the above still have more talent than Mike Wood, but that's not stopping him from publishing his posthumous stuff now, while he's still alive to reap the rewards. Inside you will find short stories ranging from childhood antics to teenage high-jinks all the way to adult tragedy. Not to mention the saga of a very angry dwarf So if you enjoy serious fiction...this is probably not the book for you (so put it down and let someone else buy it Someone who doesn't need to sport a Vonnegut or Cheever just to feel good about themselves.) But if you like to laugh, and cry, and sometimes cringe at the written word, chances are you'll get a rise out of "Mourning Wood" |
