This collection of mostly very short stories will take the reader to common settings with everyday folks but the perspective and social interaction between characters comes from a unique and often quite strange perspective. Impossible Naked Life will take you on a bizarre journey that you won’t soon forget.

The energy coursing through Impossible Naked Life is barely contained by the page. Mostly told in quick bursts, these stories pack more sharp images and lines of deep beauty and intensity in four pages than most authors can fit in twenty. Some of the stories are abstract and surreal and others feature small normal moments told with such precision that the real world somehow becomes even stranger. The people in these stories will stay with you, and I get a feeling I couldn’t shake them loose even if I tried.
