Young people, mostly male, wrestle with the specter of an incomprehensible world. A banquet server seeks enlightenment by being buried alive (breathing apparatus included!). The son of a dentist confronts an unspeakable horror at an oil baron's mansion. Karmic retribution is served after a tourist on the Ganges steals a human jawbone from a beached corpse as a ghastly souvenir. Transgressive, darkly comical, surreal, with notes of melancholy, Voices in the Dirt is a new collection of stories, some loosely autobiographical, all of them perturbed. If you like wild rides without safety bars, then have a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book is demented.
