β¦ Synopsis
Youβve met the characters in The Mysterious Secret of the Valuable Treasure. Theyβre the quirky visionaries and misguided dreamers we all knowβ¦and might even be. These characters are absurd, hilarious, and completely believable. From the self-appointed historian of the title piece to the frustrated wage slaves of βOur Spring Catalogβ and βThe Pipe,β these are individualists who donβt quite adhere to mainstream ideals. Pendarvis draws his humor from the world of high school ambitions and misunderstood intentions allowed to breathe and take shape. Always original but somehow familiar, these are stories plugged into the collective unconscious of our imaginary lives. Jack Pendarvisβs work is difficult to describe but a pleasure to experience, infused with humanity and laugh-out-loud funny. Comedic literary talent of this caliber is rare. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jack Pendarvis lives in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. His writing has been published in The Believer, McSweeneyβs, Spoon River Poetry...
