Slantindicular: Stories Among Other Things - Paperback

by Katharine Miller (Author)

Slantindicular is a collection of observations that raises more questions than it answers, chiefly "what is the point of this?" See questions born, questions coming of age, questions striking out on their own, questions begetting even more questions. This questionable collection of stories and comics will have you questioning why you didn't buy it sooner.

"A collection of what?" you ask--already with the questions. Well, stories among other things--short stories, long scenes, micro stories, single-panel illustrations, multi-panel comics, and maybe a poem or two. In these mostly fictional snippets of American life, you will meet a vampire in a shopping mall, watch an unlikely romance bloom between seasonal lawn decorations, join a dysfunctional family on vacation, learn how an innocent internet meme can disrupt one person's morning routine--and so much more.

Slantindicular is the perfect reading option for commutes, long waits, and desperate attempts to avoid conversations in internet-less environments. Fill those idle moments with misunderstandings, miscommunications, and mysteries involving misfits and misanthropes, misnomers and misty memories. After reading these Slantindicular stories, you'll never look at shampoo, toast or Richard Kind the same way again.
