Description

This is Rogal's second short story collection. Here the reader returns to Rogal's Kafkaesque world of the bizarre. His nimble and energetic writing, coupled with a brittle rhythm, lead the reader down the dark corridors of these stories. Rogal's writing is tautly realist and, in turn, lyrically surreal, while being shot through with dark humour. He explodes the extraordinary out of ordinary. But the most salient feature of Rogal's work is its lack of sentimentality.
