Cosmo Audiobook (Free)

An admirer of Miley Cyrus performs a three-thousand word phrase in defence of his enthusiasm. Professional Matthew McConaughey descends into a surreal, about Cosmo stupefying desert of the spirit. An aging porn celebrity dons a grotesque dinosaur costume to film the sex scene of his existence. Such are the loudspeakers and stars of a collection of stories that explode the conventions of brief fiction. Though moving wildly in firmness, framework and perspective from one page to the next, each of these mercurial tales is drenched in pop tradition, the distancing ramifications of contemporary communication as well as the malaise of solitary lifestyle. At their core, these tales are a portrait of normal people (aswell as superstars – they’re just like us!) striving, considering and suffering only.
