Courting Mediocrity: Novella Two (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781963805130)

Continue Jack's struggle. He never seems to make the right choice, but watching him make the wrong one is usually fairly entertaining. Alcoholism, drug addiction, and mental illness plague him and dog any efforts he makes to improve his lot. Watching Jack is like watching a fly buzzing around a window, banging into it again and again, never understanding that there's glass there. A fly doesn't even have a concept of "glass." Similarly, Jack is ignorant to the ins and outs of being human. How long will you watch him buzz around and smack into the glass?

Transgressive author Christopher J. Stockwell's absurdist and satirical take on transgressive fiction goes beyond the confined by norms paradigm and into the gutter.
