Short stories about drunkards, fornicators, the effeminate, idolaters, and thieves. Unflinching, Lorette C. Luzajic witnesses the world that exists beyond the great facade of western faith and fortune. The underdog of the underworld is no such thing- this is the real world, and its truths are both sacred and inane. Reality means that your kids are more likely to grow up drug addicts than CEOs, and more likely to be fat than famous. And so Luzajic writes about the quotidian lives of clerks and factory workers and whores. Accepting the mundane truths about existence is the key to discovering both the sublime and the absurd. It also means opening to love, the birthright of everyone.
