Produktbeschreibung
In this fresh and subtle collection of short stories, Patrick Trotti offers a brutally vivid glimpse of millennial malaise in the Internet age. A high-school dropout struggles through the labyrinthine college admissions process as he is reluctantly drawn into the breakdown of his parents' toxic marriage. A recovering addict finds out on Facebook that his best friend is dead; a college freshman accidentally comes across his high-school girlfriend on a porn site. Set against a backdrop of abandoned factories, faceless strip malls, and suburban alienation, these unsettling and deceptively simple visions of post-industrial despair capture the ambivalence and innocence of a generation coming to terms with a fundamentally stagnant world.
Autorenporträt
"Patrick Trotti lives in Rochester, New York where he is a freelance writer, editor, and publisher. Born in 1986 and raised in Tarrytown, New York, Trotti's first loves were basketball and baseball. His short fiction and poetry have appeared in a few dozen literary journals, both online and in print. He's the author of numerous books, including his debut novella The Day The Cloud Stood Still, the short story collection Come Tomorrow You'll Regret Today, and the novels That Was A Long Time Ago and A Stranger At Home. While his work has explored multiple genres and various themes, Trotti's main focus is on literary auto fiction that delves into the classification of gritty realism. He is currently, and perpetually, at work on another novel."
