On the Road to Exile and Other Short Stories

This book contains five of the most unusual short stories ever written. In On the Road to Exile, a woman travels a thousand miles on her donkey, returning to the family she left a year earlier, to find the only thing that has changed, is her. In "How Much Further to Insanity", a woman boards a train that takes her to the edge of madness, confronted by the strangest circumstances that begin with the insults of an Amish passenger and ends with the deprivations of a simeopath. In The Accidental Transvestite, a man wants only to get in his ex-girlfriend's pants but once he has them on, he soon realizes he would do anything to get them off. In "She fell to sleep" a man ruminates over the question of whether his girlfriend fell asleep or faked it. In Six Kittens, Six Victims, a man and his two children stand outside a grocery store, trying to find homes for their kittens. In Ode to a Sh*t Onion, a man wakes from a coma and recalls the circumstances that led to him being charged with "...exhibiting a flagrant disregard for the sanctity of life while satisfying unnatural sexual impulses..." and the brief courtroom drama that follows.
