Though best known for his work in the picaresque romp Tom Jones, the eighteenth-century novelist Henry Fielding explored many literary genres, including the English domestic dramas popularized by luminaries such as Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. If you love domestic tales that leave you laughing and crying -- often on the same page -- add Amelia to your must-read list.

    The Norwegian writer, Knut Hamsun (1859–1952), is often remembered for his contribution to the renewal of the novel, and his modern view of the mind. However, in Norway it his common touch, and his vivid and humorous descriptions local culture that has endeared him to the public. Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational radio stream historyradio.org, reads his own translation of one of Hamsun’s humorous short stories. Knut Hamsun was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920.

    #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER (Absurdist Fiction, Kindle Store) • #1 AMAZON NEW RELEASE (Humorous Dark Comedy, Kindle Store) • #1 AMAZON NEW RELEASE (Absurdist Fiction, Kindle Store) •Meet Puchy Mushkin, the hero of this “fast-paced phantasmagoric satire of a debauched contemporary LA…” (1) who “vows to live a life devoid of want…” (2) while thrusting himself into “the wildest situations and transgressions in a carnivalesque Los Angeles.” (2) This novel is “often uproarious,“(2) “delightfully wicked, outrageous…" (3) “brilliantly written and very funny.” (1) 
    Puchy Mushkin is a big dreamer and an even bigger loser whose spectacular failure as a human being is exceeded only by the enormity of his penis.   
    In the depths of his despair, Puchy has an epiphany: could the endless series of screw-ups that define his existence be the result of his overwhelming desire for success—the success he believes is his birthright? 
    To test his theory and, hopefully, change his fate, Puchy vows to banish all dreams, goals, aims, ambitions, and obsessions from his life except one: to assassinate desire itself and hang it by its feet like Mussolini. 
    What follows is the hilariously dark, raunchy, and irreverent tale of one man’s twisted war with himself—an anti-story about an anti-hero whose only motivation is to have no motivation at all. 
    Will Puchy succeed in his quest to conquer desire? Or will desire get him first? Grab your copy of The Tyranny of Desire TODAY to find out.
