| Abstract
|
:
|
Asthmatica is the first collection of comedic fiction from critically acclaimed poet Jon Paul Fiorentino. The stories within are edgy, eccentric and hilarious: a young man finds true love in a household appliance; a wise aunt teaches her nephew how to drive drunk; two juvenile delinquents stalk the milkman; an angst-ridden asthmatic makes an urgent plea to be your alpha male. A text of razor-sharp wit, Asthmatica is an exciting debut.
