Cursed

"Cursed" by Christopher Albanese is a collection of memoirs that challenge the assumtpion that there exists a clear delineation between fiction and reality. Containing enough wonder, humor, horror, and erotica to lend the most cynical reader an astonished smile, these stories depict a vibrant and brutal portrait of a life based on "survival by spitting laughter at the odds" from a singularly sharp point of view. Inspired by American talents as diverse as Charles Bukowski, David Sedaris, and Chuck Palahniuk, "Cursed" is a fledgling writer's brave, bold jump into America's collective memory.
