Fiction. The acclaimed author of THE PEEP DIARIES and HELLO, I'M SPECIAL returns to fiction and delivers a mind-altering collection of short stories that confront the hypocrisies, humiliations, and hilarities of modern life. Hal Niedzviecki has established himself as one of Canada's most influential young writers, and in this wildly imaginative collection he romps through social conventions, confronts some of society's most intractable arguments, and deftly captures the zeitgeist of our fractured times.
