Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ever wondered what might happen if your therapist was replaced by a pirate Or how disquieting it would be to receive postcards from your future self If William Shatner was elected President of the United States, what would his inaugural address sound like Mark A. Rayner tackles these, and stranger, questions in his collection of short stories, essays and flash fiction that thrum with the absurd and hum with alienation, all to a humorous beat. Jesus contends with dinosaurs. Marcel Duchamp describes what happens to a Dadaist who has a monkey's tail grafted to his butt. Whether he is explaining how Anne of Green Gables destroyed the world, or outlining Thor's new PR strategy, Rayner entertains with wit, humor and an imagination that is one step short of certifiable. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - So hair is sprouting in unspeakable places and you can no longer carry a tune, but if you're a surrealistic artiste with an addiction to Freudian mythology and guilt-free sex, turning into a monkey has its upsides. Nick Motbot may be evolving as a novelist, but his friends aren't too sure about his DNA -- at least, not since Gargantuan Enterprises started experimenting with it. And once they figure out what's happening to him, they decide to set things right. MARVELLOUS HAIRY is a satirical novel about a group of friends sticking it to the man the only way they know how, with equal parts grain alcohol and applied Chaos Theory.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Maximilian Tundra is about to have an existential crisis of cosmic proportions.When a physical duplicate of him appears in his living room, wearing a tight-fitting silver lamé unitard and speaking with an English accent, Max knows something bad is about to happen. Bad doesn't cover it. Max discovers he's the only human being who can prevent the end of the world, and not just on his planet! In the multiverse, infinite Earths will be destroyed.Personally, Max thinks the multiverse is in big trouble, because he can't even keep his toenails clipped on the regular, let alone stop the apocalypse. His only 'allies' are a race of manic pixie aliens and dozens of other versions of himself; and let's face it, both groups are annoying as heck!From award-winning author Mark A. Rayner, Alpha Max is a silly and serious spoof of the science fiction and superhero movie trope of multiple realities. Fans of the humorous science fiction of Douglas Adams and the black humor and satire of Kurt Vonnegut will love this dark comedy that will make you think as well as laugh.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Keelan Cavanaugh is fat. That's why the government put him in prison. They placed him in a Calorie Reduction Centre (CRC), where trained staff work to help him and many others slim down. Well, that was the intention, anyway. The powers that be had decided chubby citizens must either go there or lose their health care coverage. When he meets Jacinda Williams, an activist lawyer researching this new system, Keelan is more determined than ever to slim down. But Keelan discovers losing weight is more difficult than it seems, especially when he also has to fight against a ridiculous bureaucracy and policy wonks with hidden agendas. Can he succeed, and will the CRC-crossed lovers ever sit at love's banquet together From award-winning author Mark A. Rayner, The Fatness is a contemporary satire of socialism, capitalism, and the so-called 'obesity epidemic'. This is Catch-22 for a new generation, with a distinctly tender undertone, even as it mercilessly spoofs the establishment.Praise for Mark A. Rayner 'Mark A. Rayner--an all-Canadian synthesis of Douglas Adams and Ben Elton--understands that the best satire is only five degrees to the left of reality. The Fatness may not be reality (yet), but it's too close for comfort. Luckily, it's also funny as heck.' Corey Redekop, author of Shelf Monkey and Husk 'I've only come across a few writers who are truly funny, and Mark A. Rayner is one of them.' Terry Fallis, author of Best Laid Plans 'Mark A. Rayner's characters possess substance enough, and exist in a world sufficiently vivid, to be able to revolt and liberate themselves in an exhilarating counterrevolutionary struggle.' Tom Bradley, author of Useful Despair as Taught to the Hemorrhaging Slave of an Obese Eunuch 'Mark A. Rayner is just a terrific storyteller and one of the most imaginative and original writers you will ever have the pleasure of reading.' Ian Ferguson, Author of Village of the Small Houses 'Mark A. Rayner is an author with a fantastical sense of humor and a dangerous imagination.' The Next Best Book Club.…
