by Eliot Fintushel ~
If the world ended tomorrow and your soul was ready and your loins were sated, next you’d need a good yarn and a hard laugh. That’s Eliot Fintushel’s brilliant Breakfast with the Ones You Love. A deft, hilarious, and lovable apocalyptic tale that mashes the hardboiled, the nightmarish and the absurdly mundane like some new pharmaceutical with side effects that are equal parts joy, terror and wisdom. Not a bad way to go.—Patrick O’Leary , author of The Impossible Bird

"Wild, wonderful, crazy...like Howard Waldrop, R. A. Lafferty, Avram Davidson, and T. C. Boyle, Fintushel is a one off; and Breakfast with the Ones You Love reads like P. J. Wodehouse (on speed) collaborating with Isaac Bashevis Singer, Harlan Ellison, Woody Allen, and Barry N. Malzberg. "—Jack Dann, author of The Memory Cathedral and The Rebel: An Imagined Life of James Dean

"Eliot Fintushel and his nifty stories have been an ongoing joy for me for years."—Harlan Ellison
