Book Description
Short stories have grown to be popular and have come to stay. Campers around fires spin out short stories, as well as buddies at the bar over a beer. We all tell each other stories. It’s one of the ways humans exist, and one of the ways we know we’re alive and well. In Itty Bitty Tiny Tall Tales, author K.B. Chandra Raj offers short stories filled with colorful characters and crackling dialogue. The Sum of Our Parts presents a humorous look at everyday expressions that include a variety of body parts. Revenge Sweet and Sour tells the story of a son who vows to kill his father who ran away after his birth. This eclectic collection of short stories is meant to amuse, to pass the time with a smile, to be consumed at the coffee shop, or to be read at the gym on the treadmill.

Book Description
A hilarious and wickedly original collection of pieces and cartoons by one of America’s funniest writers. The title story (as sweeping as any novel but without the annoying length, more glamorous than a miniseries but without commercial interruption) follows a tragic (not to give anything away) love triangle (an idealistic screen goddess and her two unshakable lovers—who happen to become the last two presidents of the United States) through decades of (imaginary) American history. Here is some of what you’ll find: in “Marred Bliss,” the fractured puns of a love quadrangle (“Maybe you’d rather ram off with her! She’s been trying to reduce you since she got here”)…in “Diary of a Fan,” the diarist’s deepest thoughts (“I saw Sigourney Weaver on the street today. I pity her”)…in “The Whom of Kaboom,” a perilous cruise with Jack the Hipper, sculptor of the famous Venus de Mylar…and in “A Tall Tale,” a meeting with America’s tallest tall-tale hero, Johnny Business, whose wealth requires three strong men just to conceive of. Gasp for air, and then browse the high school yearbook of the planets, learn about electricity from electricity itself, and discover Emily Dickinson, advertising copywriter. Vertigo Park is the latest from the wild workshop of Mark O’Donnell—a hands-on volume for students of laughter everywhere.
