With a critical eye bordering on pathological he dissects the slightest phenomena as he searches for a clue. Inspired by Sartre's La Naus e, Still Life with Abyss chronicles Quentin Antoine's adventures of the mind as he eventually makes his way to Paris, to cooking school, and to his surprising true calling.

THE definitive version of this literary satire, newly revised for 2015!FRED ORBIS is fat, very fat, and he wants to be thin. He wants to be someone else. In his eyes he is Federico Orbisini, internationally known novelist, existential philosopher, raconteur, and lover of women. His is a villa on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean and an apartment in Paris and New York, and wherever he goes, women will see in him a depth of passion so great that they will be both overwhelmed and helplessly drawn. In his eyes they will see themselves as they always wanted to be, and for a brief glorious moment their souls will dance. THE SERIAL KILLER'S DIET BOOK is a fin-de-siècle Faustian satire inspired by Rabelais, a reflection on morals, God and the Devil, heaven and hell, beauty, literature and the bestseller list, and through it all the universal longing to become someone else.
