What They’re Saying…

“A tuxedo-wearing go-kart mechanic on a quixotic quest for true love; a talking squirrel with criminal aspirations (but the noblest of intentions) - these are just two of the wonderful characters you will meet in this marvelous collection of short stories, Beyond Where the Buses Run: Stories. By turns absurd and insightful, this collection takes you on an imaginative tour of the human interior. Often absurd - but never lacking some shade of profundity! —it’s an assortment of nuanced perspectives on specific experience, providing an entertaining, even moving, glimpse into what it means to be human in all its idiosyncratic glory.”
