Gary, the Four-Eyed Fairy and Other Stories Now in Paperback
My collection of short stories, Gary, the Four-Eyed Fairy and Other stories is available in paperback for the first time.
"4-stars: GARY, THE FOUR-EYED FAIRY AND OTHER STORIES is an entertaining romp, full of irreverent humor that leaves you wanting more...chronicling the life and times of J.T. Glass, a security guard armed with a sharp tongue, keen wit and vivid imagination...each story in this collection can stand on its own, but read together, the book feels more like a novel told out of chronological order, or like a puzzle that engages you, the reader, to assemble and experience the transformation from boy to man. The dialogue is crisp, the nuances are rich, most of the stories move at a fast clip, and you'll be laughing or crying most of the journey... Mundo knows how to delight and surprise, no holds barred. He has an excellent command of story, and the courage to go dark." --Indiereader.com
"Well worth a read...A sharply observed take on the human condition, it's full of off-beat humour, life lessons and moral dilemmas." Named a "Favourite Read for April 2012" - multi-story.co.uk
"When Carolyn See wrote her dissertation on the Hollywood novel in 1963, she could find only three Los Angeles writers who were not writing about the movie business. When she published her first novel in 1970, her editor told her Joan Didion was her main competition. Today, as she sorts through candidates for the anthology, she's coming across scores of new writers: Michael Jaime Becerra, whose new book, "Every Night Is Ladies' Night," is set among Latino immigrants in El Monte...Or Frank Mundo, a security guard who works the graveyard shift and has published his tales of overnight security. See guesses there may be several hundred serious writers in the region..." - Los Angeles Times
"Ordinarily this was supposed to be the time when students were supposed to helpfully venture 'constructive criticism,' since part of the class was about learning to do just that, but there was no constructive criticism that I remember, because Frank Mundo was the kind of person who already knew how to write and what to write -- knew it in his bones. You could say his prose was perfect, and you'd be absolutely right on the money." - Carolyn See of The Washington Post
