Short Story Collection Sheds Light on Life and Sex

A world of unfathomable discoveries and testing theories fill the pages of Uncle Mike’s Quasar, a cheeky collection of short stories and poems.

The stories take place in a New Orleans bar where elderly patrons kill time by exchanging tall tales and testing theories about the nature of the universe. Regulars, Al and Henry, want to do an experiment to test their outrageous theory on homosexuality and the bar’s clientele. The stories in the collection are separate but interlocking, where all the characters appear in the same bar. The book also includes poems about quasars.

Kirkus Review describes the book as “a collection that includes a baffling fantasia that mixes sexuality, dinosaurs, and a quasar.” Meanwhile, Pacific Book Review says, “Uncle Mike’s collection of stories is excellent for readers who want an amalgam of silly and serious. If readers are looking for outlandish humor, but also want short stories that reference Shakespeare, Quasar is the perfect book.”

Quasar is one of the books featured in LitFire Publishing’s booth at the prestigious 2017 Frankfurt Book Fair from October 11 to 15, 2017. The fair is an annual gathering of authors and industry professionals in the field of publishing and marketing from all over the world.
