ENJOY THE SUBVERSIVE CLASSIC GOOD AMERICANS (THE HUMAN TRAGEDY, VOLUME 1) BEFORE READING THE LONG AWAITED SECOND BOOK OF THE ANTHOLOGY SERIES THE HUMAN TRAGEDY: BAD AMERICANS

Containing six short stories, a three-part novella and a provocative introduction, Good Americans features some of the most memorable characters in contemporary American literature: Riny Renaldo, the self-described "Old Guido" who waxes nostalgic about a bygone America until he meets his archrival, bratty teenager Taina; Javier, a blue collar assistant professor equally obsessed with acquiring tenure and his Asian masseuse May; Peter and Nilesh, former college buddies pondering their destinies on a meditative hike; scarred Iraq war veteran Tom, trying to understand his social role back home in rural New York; the once inseparable siblings Fred and Bridget, torn by expectation and circumstance while studying abroad; and Dhan, a charismatic lawyer seeking to acquire urban power.

Hailed by Kirkus Reviews upon its release as "a solid collection of rare caliber" that "speaks volumes about the human condition and modern life in America," this comprehensive portrait of the underbelly of American society is even more timely, powerful and thought-provoking than when it was first published over a decade ago.

BAD AMERICANS PART I & PART II are the next volumes in the anthology series THE HUMAN TRAGEDY.

Inspired by classics like The Decameron & The Canterbury Tales, as well as reality shows like The Bachelor and Big Brother, BAD AMERICANS is a Novel and Short Story Collection IN ONE.

It's Summer 2020 and the Covid-19 Pandemic is raging. 12 diverse Americans are selected via a dating app competition by billionaire Olive Mixer to stay at his ornate Hamptons mansion complex for 12 nights. Each night, one must tell the group a story.

All 12 stories can be enjoyed independently and are being published as ebooks ahead of the publication of the frame novel to be released in two Parts.
