Showing results for "Freaks" in Short Stories

Per chiarire, per spiegare, Freak nel corso di tutta la sua vita ha scritto libri, canzoni, poesie, aforismi, calcando innumerevoli volte i palcoscenici di questa ingrata Italia. Tutto ciò che è assurdo & bizzarro insieme, non eroico, non retorico, non modaiolo, non istituzionale, può essere demenziale. Un cocktail di pseudofuturismo, dada, goliardia, improvvisazione, animazione pirotecnica, provocazione con ironia d'avanspettacolo, poesia surreale soprattutto cretina. Ma ancora incidenti a caso, paradossi e colpi di genio, contraddizioni, sciocchezze e gazzarra.

Alex Issa's thought provoking stories are difficult to classify.

Here, two almost surreal short stories lead the listener through disturbing and somehow beautiful locations in the mind.

Ever since the great fall of Becky Worthington - when the biggest bully of them all, hell-bent on harassing Patrice to the end of her teenage days, was transformed into someone altogether ignorable - Patrice's school life is almost normal. Well, if you can call having your own freak fan base and band of loyal misfit followers "normal". But there's a new bully in school. Patrice is the only one who can do something about it. The problem is, Patrice doesn't care. She's not the one being picked on; it's not her problem this time.
