Insane, witty, hilarious, ironical, sincere, grumpy, and original, Chuck Taylor brings together in Magical, Fantastical, Alphabetical Soup the alpha and omega of existence in a series of mini fictions, prose poems, and rants written to challenge and delight the reader. "Magical, Fantastical, Alphabetical Soup is just what its name implies, a tour through multiplicities of the human heart, a deconstructive exploration of the interpretive mind, a clever philosophical clutch at the divine sweetness of the human soul waiting beneath the exterior. Barbra Streisand sings of 'animal crackers' in her soup, but this book, with too long a title to repeat here, may begin with a man's most closely guarded secret, 'the man has a toupee.' Bon appetit "-Connie Williams, author of Dancing Backwards in Texas "Chuck Taylor's Magical, Fantastical, Alphabetical, Soup is the best book of prose I have ever read It is part philosophy, part flash memoir, and everything prose poetry is supposed to be. This is an important book that creates an entertaining alphabetical narrative that reads like a novel. Get this book You won't regret it."-Dr. Christopher Carmona, author of Beat, UT/Brownsville
