Jack Dick and Other Stories is a collection of short stories -- five short stories, in fact -- arranged just like bands at an outdoor festival. First, there are four flash-fiction and short story opening acts: Brad the Hunter , about a lone idiot who practices husbandry upon ground squirrels and buries his own pee The Sharks , about troubles faced by ballerinas with thin lips The To Go Mug , about the secret lives of objects forgotten upon a sink The Road to South By , about skunks and musicians touring past their prime Then we come to the main event, titled "Jack Dick, World's Musician-est Musician." In this novella length piece, every word is hilarious (even conjunctions, which are normally ill-tempered and bad house guests). Hey, some musicians make it big. Others never leave their bedrooms. This is the story of the players in between! I hope you'll give it a shot!
