    Ingrid works on a gargantuan luxury cruise liner where she spends her days reorganizing the gift-shop shelves and waiting for long-term guests to drop dead in the aisles. On her days off, she disembarks from the ship, wasting the hours aimlessly following tourists around, drinking the local alcohol, and buying clothes she never intends to wear again. It’s not a bad life. At least, it distracts her from thinking about the other life—the other person—she left behind five years ago.
    
    But then one day Ingrid’s selected by the ship’s enigmatic captain and (ill-informed) wabi-sabi devotee, Keith, for his mentorship program. Encouraging her to reflect on past mistakes and her desperation to remain lost at sea, he pushes her further than she ever thought possible. But as her friendships and professional life onboard steadily fall apart, she must ask herself an important question: how do you know when you’ve gone too far? 
    
    Utterly original, mischievous, and thought-provoking, The Odyssey is a merciless takedown of consumer capitalism and our anxious, ill-fated quests to find something to believe in. It’s a voyage that will lead our heroine all the way home—although she will do almost anything to avoid getting there.

    Gentlemen is a fluid and gripping combination of a coming-of-age modern tale and a study of human nature, psyche and self-discovery in the journey toward becoming a gentleman and a scholar. The year is 2013, in the post collegiate age of statistic student debt, Ferdinand Folk’s alter ego Frank finds refuge in the shadows of a dark and grim Los Angeles world of a lifestyle brimming with vice, degradation and blatant hypocrisy.He finds light in the moon filter and vignette effect of Instagram and an XM soundtrack of Cole Porter, well curating a facade and virtual identity that becomes his salvation in the upper-crust temptations of a Man of the Night profession.Through five years of his wild career, he soaks up knowledge and some bizarre perspectives from the men that call upon him, but soon finds himself at a globe-trotting crossroads, stoically going against the grain, yet unable to resist those millennial antics he struggles to avoid and which might just be his demise. This is a startling tale that hurtles toward an ironic and terrifying but inevitable finish.
