Further to his best selling children’s book ‘Naughty Nancy and Sniffer’ and his subsequent illustrated adult novel ‘But that’s not another story’, Rogeri has composed this latest publication comprising of fourteen strange short stories written in the same inimitable style. Having been described as an author who has digested both The Oxford English Dictionary and the Karma Sutra, his offbeat style and surreal sense of humour manages to blend the outrageous ridiculousness of Monty Python and Vis magazine with doses of Tarantinoesque. In this instance, Rogeri has composed a collection of bizarre tales each with a surprising twist at the end that somehow seem totally believable due to their tongue-in-cheek depiction of the absurdities of life and their incongruous consequences. From a whimsical variation of the classic biblical tale of Adam and Eve, to a yarn involving two strangers whose passion for seafood culminates in unforeseen tragedy; and a cowboy’s determination to win a blemish competition, to an inaugural teenager’s inflatable birthday present from his liberal minded parents … these are just some examples of Rogeri’s wicked wordplay that weaves the mundane and profane into a magical world where anything and everything is not only plausible but subsequently becomes the norm. So dispense with your sense of reality and instead be prepared to have your funny bone thoroughly tickled, as you encounter abnormal scenarios of delicious delight.
