Songs In The Key of H: Tales of Irony & Insinuation is Hickman's 6th humorous book and first collection of short stories. The comic novelist returns to his literary roots with a varied collection of prose, at once offbeat, timely, and thought-provoking.
Songs In The Key of H Synopsis
Even more varied and perhaps more prescient than his previous comic novels, the contemplative Tales of Irony & Insinuation include prose on idiocy, aging, technology-gone-wrong, blood guilt, the perils of hive-mind thinking, and death—among other jaunty themes—all seasoned with his slightly surreal brand of satire and a healthy helping of irony, both humorous and poignant. And, barely hidden between the lines, the reader may detect hilarious and biting commentary on today's society—something fresh and new from Hickman's absurd yet sharp pen.
Stories include Buffoonwyke, the life and death of a town completely comprised of village idiots, I, Fart, a gripping story of a man who goes undercover to investigate life as a senior citizen, Anonymity, the cautionary tale of a new personal cloaking technology gone hilariously and horribly wrong, and Up And Down, the uplifting downward spiral of an obsolete elevator operator forced by life's adversities to live in his own elevator.
