what if i got down on my knees?romantic misadventures and entanglementsTony Rauch | ||
Romantic misadventures and entanglements of absurd, whimsical, existential longing, discovery, secrets, identity, escape, strange happenings, endurance, regret, and hope that serve as little postcards from the lonely regions of the human heart.
These tales of wonder are about people trying to find meaning and a place in an indifferent world, and their discoveries, revelations, secrets, failures, struggles, connections, and odd encounters along the way—
—two unemployed men steal dogs and run them through buildings around town. With themes of longing, fragility, uncertainty, impermanence, regret, the mysteries hidden in everyday life, discovery, ennui, loneliness, irresponsible behavior, confusion, change, identity, and absurd situations, Tony Rauch is a worthy successor to the artistry and absurdism of Donald Barthelme and Steve Martin.
