Items related to Subversives: Stories
Ordinary people make extraordinary choices, with irreversible consequences: * An American in Provence decides to steal a neighbor's olive tree * A henpecked senior citizen buys a share in a small-town Western whorehouse. * A traveling salesman has 'just' one martini before dinner in a roadside restaurant In ordinary life, ordinary people might get away with little indiscretions like these. Not in these surreal, existential stories. Frost, a master of black humor and haywire fiction, activates the domino effect of consequence: before morning breaks, that stunned traveling salesman will be paddled and probed by a perverse bombshell in kinky black lingere.
