Time Whiled

Book excerpt: DescriptionTime Whiled is the scathingly funny story of Lark McDougall, an impoverished, obsessive-compulsive ne'er-do-well struggling with a crumbling psyche and soulless jobs while he scrapes together money to go home to his ailing father. With dazzling, fractured prose, author Guy J. Jackson has created a charming anti-hero worthy of the Holden Caulfield pantheon, and a literary novel both brutal in its comedy and life-affirming in its humanity. About the AuthorGuy J.
