Cherches's world is overrun with doppelgängers, doppelgängers' doppelgängers, malevolent technology, masks, doubts, and unreliable mirrors. Think of this as a kinder and gentler Book of Job, with New York attitude and borscht belt humor, as well as echoes of Kafka, Borges, and Serling. Rarely has one man's misery been so much fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Cherches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pelekinesis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949790887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCherches, Peter:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Called \"one of the innovators of the short short story\" by Publishers Weekly, Peter Cherches is a writer, singer and lyricist.
