Mendelson. This diverse anthology includes a short story, a novella, a medium-sized novel, and a brief literary confection, all designed to satisfy any appetite. Among these, the shortest piece, Einstein, is a quirky love story set in New York State, featuring a young woman's quest to find her Mr. Wrong. In contrast, I Can't Be Ill, I'm a Hypochondriac is a semi-autobiographical and wryly poignant tale that explores the impact of a family member's serious cancer diagnosis. It depicts how life and work continue, albeit with an added layer of complexity and difficulty. Lost Souls, the novel, is a hilarious and larger-than-life fable that revolves around a scuzziest guy in LA, a soulless and dissolute \"porn-broker,\" who must find love in just five days with the kindest, least-worldly soul around, a scruffy Lake District shepherdess, or face a dire fate in Hell! Lastly, A Perfect Murder Story is a brief confection told entirely in letters from a script-editing agency to a would-be scriptwriter. However, what sort of plot does the fledgling scribe have in mind? This intriguing collection offers a delightful blend of genres and narratives, providing readers with a wide range of literary experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 492g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138 x 215 x 34 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781916668119\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul A.
