CoffeeSide Fictions: Of the Real and the Imaginary

This is a collection of short fictions and academic non-fictional work that investigates the human condition while poking fun at the absurd. Using humorous moments inside the genres of science fiction, fairytales, fantasy escapism, non-fictional academia (which emphasizes "the other" as it pertains to gender through the lens of art, art history, and the media arts), and finally good old fashioned "nearly true" anecdotal retellings of actual events (why lie?) in the life exploits and experiences of the author. CoffeeSide Fictions reflects the humanity and dignity that we all hope for... while not ignoring the debased nature and greed we keep safely tucked away. If you enjoy tales of personal tragedy, gritty moments of shame, or just viewing your fellow humanity's faults and fumbles (i.e. POOPS), then this is for you! With a melange of semi-creepy-happy-sad-nonsensical weird S**t graciously spread out for your enjoyment, this collection is insightful as it is preposterous!.... So kick back, take this book back when you take a bath (or don't and get your stink on!), smoke, chew gum, have a coke and a smile or a well-shaken You-Hoo, (but somewhere in there don't forget to poop and pee) and read some wild shorts that should make you think and laugh, or more likely cringe and cry like a baby. 'Nuff said. Now go and get your G.u.N.K. on!
