Death My Own Way
A man dying of cancer wanders naked into Central Park and embarks on a twisted, fetishistic, hilarious journey toward a deeper understanding of life. A story of vulnerability, brashness, and the universal need to find some comfort and philosophy before the journey ends.

“Not a word is wasted in this masterpiece . . . the finest in American literature.”—Geekscribe
“A uniquely human story that proves humorous as well as thoughtful. Solid and very highly recommended.”—Midwest Book Review
