Touching the Starfish

TOUCHING THE STARFISH: Ashley Stokes''s comic masterpiece stars Nathan Flack, a writer exiled in a backwater teaching creative writing to a group of high-maintenance cranks and fantasists. When a very literary ghost by the name of James O''Mailer starts to haunt Flack, he has to ask himself: is he sinking into a nether world of delusion, or is he actually O''Mailer''s instrument? TOUCHING THE STARFISH is a metafictional tour-de-force and hilarious throughout. Comparable to LUCKY JIM and TRISTRAM SHANDY. See more
