Description

Bursting with comedy and peculiarity, this collection of short stories explores the world of those living their Generation-X lives on the fringes of society. From a loner who uses mosh pits as a confessional to a cross-dresser prowling the aisles of the local supermarket, this work follows these characters as they navigate the universe in refreshing and unexpected ways.
