| The Wisdom of Repugnance--CHAPTER 1-The Happy Tongue Incident | Jeni Decker | Novel | 1 | n/a | Jul 4, 2008 |
Summary:For your consideration:
The Wisdom of Repugnance ( formerly titled THREE SHORT WOMEN )follows a necrophiliac mortician exploring his paraphelia with a therapist, while the death of his father rattles the matriarch of his family.
... a brief synopsis of the piece.
Bill has a problem. He likes dead people... a bit too much, and with his job at a local morgue, that makes things a bit dicey. Meanwhile, Daddy's busy at home dying while he discusses his sexual par aphelia with an expert, who fills him in on the 'Wisdom of Repugnance', that internal shudder that we are all 'supposed' to have that helps us differentiate between, say, someone who loves kids, and someone who loves kids. Throw in three short women, polar opposites of others written more 'delicately balanced' in years past under the quill of a Mr. Edward Albee and what you have are three crass women who could reside in any local trailer park or suburb, grappling with past and present issues while watching the family patriarch die.
... why this play might be of interest I can't think of anything more universally global than our shared, and oft shamed sexual peccadilloes...

Summary:Okay folks, this is my first attempt at fiction. Actually a lot will be losely based on real life experiences and some will be complete fiction. For the most part the stories will be sarcastic dry and humerous. I will be happy with any feedback you want to give. I need to know if this first chapter hooks you or not.
Happy Reading,

| Misinthropia | pe fisher | Novel | 1 | n/a | Jun 10, 2008 |
Summary:While out for back surgery I thought about my "collegues" in the tech world and the silly things they do, so I wrote about them. Most everything here is true.
Unfortunately my writing expereince prior to this consists almost entirely of technical documentation. Since this is the case, passive voice, mixing past, present and future tense in the same sentence and grammer in general is difficlut for me.
All comments are greatly appreciated. Advice is most welcome as well.Chapters: |
