God's Autobio

by Rolli

tagged: short stories (single author)
Description

.The short stories in God's Autobio, Rolli's debut collection, are impossible, quite probable, and everything in between. There's a story about a man with a ridiculously huge coupon. About an elderly woman who befriends a frenzied robotic chimpanzee. An overzealous, if increasingly masochistic butler. Plus twenty-three other surreal, sublime, and satirical creations by Canadian writer/poet/artist Rolli, recipient of the John Kenneth Galbraith Literary Award, and one of the winners of the 2008/2009 Commonwealth Short Story Competition.

About the Author
Rolli writes - and illustrates - for adults (Hayden's Ferry Review, New York Tyrant, Rattle) and children (Ladybug, Spider, Highlights). He's the author of GOD'S AUTOBIO (short stories), PLUM STUFF (poems/drawings), and two forthcoming titles: LIONS EAT VEGETABLES! (picture book), and I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON A NOVEL (flash fictions). Visit his blog (www.rolliwrites.wordpress.com), and follow his epic tweets @rolliwrites.

"Rolli has achieved greatness with God's Autobio." - Zouch Magazine

"A must have for lovers of original and cutting edge literature." - Tuck Magazine

Profundity and hilarity pervade the collection with a feverish regularity." - Heavy Feather Review
