Description:
<DIV>You can try to escape from the mundane, or with the help of Paul Di Filippo, you can take a brief, meaningful break from it. In the vein of George Saunders or Michael Chabon, Di Filippo uses the tools of science fiction and the surreal to take a deep, richly felt look at humanity. His brand of funny, quirky, thoughtful, fast-moving, heart-warming, brain-bending stories exist across the entire spectrum of the fantastic from hard science fiction to satire to fantasy and on to horror, delivering a riotously entertaining string of modern fables and stories from tomorrow, now and anytime. After you read Paul Di Filippo, you&rsquo;ll no longer see everyday life quite the same.<br style="color: rgb(88, 89, 91); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" /><br style="color: rgb(88, 89, 91); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" />For most people, as they say, money makes the world go &lsquo;round. For Rory Honeyman, it&rsquo;s a different story. Having inadvertently and, almost without noticing, invented a new form of cash cow, money makes Rory&rsquo;s world go strangely pear-shaped and out-of-control. He has an endless supply of blank checks that never bounce but he&rsquo;s being guided by an albino, hustled by a saline-snorting sandwich-obsessed gourmet, manipulated by a devious banker and befuddled and bemused by a never-ending assortment of attractive and baffling women. And, for reasons unknown and unknowable, after racing from the Great Plains to Mexico City to Canada to Europe, he&rsquo;s stuck in Hoboken and there appears to be no way out.<br style="color: rgb(88, 89, 91); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" /><br style="color: rgb(88, 89, 91); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;" />Originally published: 2004&#160;</DIV>
