Gogh is gone !
Original Stories by
Nancy Freyburger
Like the wild amusement park ride you can't wait to line up for again,
Nancy Freyburger's
original stories in
Gogh is gone will
change the way you view the "characters" you encounter on life's path. Her
protagonists interact with artists, faith-healers, gamblers, addicts,
Buddhists, actors, club kids, Elvis impersonators, and dysfunctional family
members with a zen-like acceptance. Her palette blurs high camp and high
fashion. And her eccentric characters will have you looking at life's twists
in a new light. Indulge yourself with this collection of hilarious stories
that embrace the uniqueness of each human soul. We love the book! Nancy
Freyburger's characters and their stories are just quirky, macabre, and
down-to-earth enough to be believable -- somewhere, in someone's life. We
recommend this book to anyone who loves John Irving and his characters.
