Tales from the Vinegar Wasteland

One part surrealistic farce, one part psychotic hallucination, this story begins with a visit from a friend, Anton, who has been slowly losing his face. Next, meet Gregory, whose home now includes a non-existing room. Add in a neighbor who screams for no apparent reason, the joys of purchasing photographs of events that never happened, and attempts to read the book, What You'll Never Finish, and you might begin to fathom this journey that describes the circle of life and death, isolation and romantic infatuation, and the discovery of who, or what, God really is. Like a modern day Alice in Wonderland for grown-ups. Ray Fracalossy is an absurdist and author of bizarro fiction from New Jersey. He says, "I want to dissolve the barriers separating reality and dream states." "Wow...this is f**cking rad...who is this writer?" — kurt k. heasley, fountainhead of acid rock legends LILLYS "Ray Fracalossy's ability to seamlessly blur the line between the irreal and real has made him one of the defining writers of the new absurdist movement. He possesses something rarely found in art today, a unique voice. Tales is a novel that will more than likely outlast us all." — polycarp kusch, author & founder of both oBook.org and the new absurdist website "Though Ray Fracalossy's work has an absurdist core reminiscent of the old school, it has a decidedly modern heart that makes you laugh and think at the same time." — Kevin Donihe, author of Shall We Gather at the Garden? and Grape City
