    About this ebook

    An unstable homeowner exacting revenge on his mortgage lender, an alcoholic clown coming back from the dead to haunt a family, a roulette addicted oil mogul meeting a mysterious woman during the destructive peak hours of Hurricane Sandy. The honest, emotionally damaged characters in David Wesley's short story collection, pursue pleasure through self-destructive addictions to mask their pain. Prone to anger and violence, they are pushed to a psychological breaking point as they struggle to belong in a seemingly unfair world with growing inequality.

      The Courage To Be Happy

      Feb 1, 2023

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather
