Scratching for Something
Scratching for Something is a collection of modern fables that explore the deepest, funniest, grittiest, and most mysterious aspects of our humanity, leaving the “moral of the story” for the reader to decipher.
"[the fables] work both singly and as a whole with wonderful ease, combining a rich surface with a variety of undercurrents that ebb and flow, thematically and stylistically ... This is a fine and rewarding debut."
- Nicholas Christopher, author of "The Bestiary"
