    Summer of the Flesh Eater” is a bit of dark humour by Zsuzsi Gartner, excerpted from "Better Living through Plastic Explosives." Gartner delivers a powerful second dose of the lacerating satire that marked her acclaimed debut, "All the Anxious Girls on Earth, but with even greater depth and darker humour. Whether she casts her eye on evolution and modern manhood when an upscale cul-de-sac is thrown into chaos after a redneck moves into the neighbourhood, international adoption, war photography, real estate, the movie industry, motivational speakers, or terrorism, Gartner filets the righteous and the ridiculous with dexterity in equal, glorious measure. These stories ruthlessly expose our most secret desires, and allow us to snort with laughter at the grotesque world we'd live in if we all got what we wanted.

      @AudiobyRay Mastering: A belated thank you. It's a great story, very post-modern. We were pleased to get the opportunity to record this, especially as the author is from our own area - we're both located in the Vancouver lower mainland.
