The excoriating stories in Mark Doten's brilliant first collection dissect the pathological narratives that shape our culture and country. Narrated by a crosscutting array of White people, Doten's stories spotlight the self-serving logic through which their characters struggle to make sense of, and take control of, the narrative of our time.

Where do we go after we die? In this story the protagonist, Oscar Whatmore, dies and finds himself transported to a rundown spiritual realm, eventually appearing before a vast court presided over by a diminutive and disagreeable Jesus clad in legal robes. Although judged worthy of admission to Heaven, Oscar finds himself in a boring and dilapidated domain, which is blighted by outdated technology. He subsequently bribes an official to gain access to Hell, which he discovers to be surprisingly pleasant and staffed by a friendly Devil who explains that the ancient punishments are obsolete.

Phineas Finch, a former police detective turned a secluded and disgruntled Private Eye, decides to settle in Wyoming with his assistant, Maggie. They've accumulated many connections throughout their short time in the Factory District. With the pair usually taking on minuscule cases, having little news coverage and impact on the trajectory of the city. They have a pretty relaxed method of fulfilling their schedule. Wyoming has its underground more present than law enforcement. Mainly, when it comes to ruling the streets.

From the first bite to the final crumb, this is the saga of that biscuit, told with the seriousness it never asked for and the depth it could never deserve. Along the way, hunger wrestles with hesitation, distractions arrive in the form of a knock at the door and phantom phone calls, and the great philosophical questions of our time are asked—such as whether regret tastes different when it is edible, and why the fridge is always worth checking at least three times.

À la fin du siècle, une figure du Décadentisme invoque un démon sans visage: l’absurde. Dans ce roman où le réel se lézarde, les certitudes vacillent, les élans et les répulsions se heurtent, et la condition humaine affleure, mise à nu. Fidèle à une esthétique anti-réaliste, la narration glisse entre clairvoyance et vertige, mêlant trouble, ironie sombre et élégance vénéneuse, pour sonder ce qui nous meut quand toute logique se défait.

Story0
The Imaginary Pot of Vodka Gold is a cyclical anti-hero narrative about desire, stability, rupture, and repetition. A man believes he has reached the bottom of his life, only to discover that "bottom" is a comforting myth—an idea sold to make endurance feel meaningful. What actually exists is pattern: motion without resolution, survival without victory, and the quiet continuation of appetite long after the story is supposed to end.

Tales from the Motherland: Book Zero is a darkly comic collection of interlinked stories about power, memory, exile, and the quiet absurdities of modern life. Set across post-Soviet cities, imagined borderlands, and bureaucratic nowhere-zones, these stories follow people who live slightly out of sync with their surroundings—men and women shaped by collapse, reinvention, and systems that no longer announce themselves with force, but with procedure, habit, and polite indifference.

Story0
Ein Roman von Franz Kafka, gesprochen von Moritz Brendel. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Bankangestellte Josef K., gegen den ein Prozess anhängig ist. Das Gericht agiert im Geheimen, und bis zu seiner Hinrichtung erfährt K. nicht einmal den Grund der Anklage. Ort der Handlung ist eine fiktive deutsche Großstadt. Die Zeit der Handlung stimmt mit ihrer Entstehungszeit überein. Dennoch, die Welt, die er erschaffen hat, scheint weniger als andere literarische Welten an Zeit und Raum gebunden, obwohl sie fest in realistischer Schilderung fundiert ist und von dort immer wieder ins scheinbar Phantastische schweift.
