1. Wake Me Up At Nine In The Morning
An unsettling collection of short stories that peers into the lives of misfits, drifters, and ordinary people hovering on the edge of transgression. With deadpan humor and razor-sharp minimalism, it captures the boredom, cruelty, and sudden bursts of violence that punctuate contemporary urban life. Together the pieces form a portrait of alienation and moral ambiguity, where small choices spiral into absurd, haunting consequences.
