商品簡介
"Patrick Irelan's Reruns nails the feral qualities of our dreams, the way lurking obsessions can take hold of people and cyclone through an ordinary day. His stories are cheerfully absurdist, yet emotionally honest and heartfelt too. Irelan's world is brimming with work-a-day folks marching to some very stark and funny tunes."---Maureen McCoy, author of Junebug and Walking After Midnight
"The short stories in Patrick Irelan's collection, Reruns, take place in a humorous and often surreal world. It's an added bonus that that world is the one in which we live. Prepare to laugh and shake your head (both at the same time if you can manage it without hurting yourself)."---Jim O'Loughlin, Professor of English, University of Northern Iowa
"Irelan's short stories strike a delicate balance between the serious and the ridiculous, leaving the reader with a satirically honest view of the world."---CM Evans, cartoon editor-at-large for Opium Magazine
"If you look beneath the pose of the cynic, the skeptic or the satirist, you often find a lover of humankind---its unfulfilled potential and all its laughable longing---struggling with a broken heart. So it is with Rabelais, Voltaire, Swift, Kundera; so it is with Patrick Irelan in Reruns."---Mark Baechtel, author, Shaping the Story: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Short Fiction
These stories will take you places you can't ignore. Welcome to a world of office anarchy, self-improvement fraud, and space aliens who live in silos. Observe an urban scene so ugly that it drives people into group therapy. Enroll in a correspondence course taught by a man who knows nothing about the subject matter. Sit in on a meeting of the Burning Desire Romance Writers. Apply for a job at the Ray of Hope Greeting Card Company. Join us now as we enter a cultural dreamland in which every day is just another televised rerun.
