Wish List

Fiction. Part punk rock concept album, part poetic observation, and part man-in-the-street reporting, WISH LIST, Gerry LaFemina’s debut collection of stories, chronicles the lives of people who just might be someone you know. His characters–alienated teens, mid-life crisis adults, those suffering from loss or from love–are survivors of the ordinary traumas of America. Sometimes funny, sometimes tender, sometimes heartbreaking, these stories invite us into a world that those familiar with LaFemina’s poems will know: one willed with pathos and grit.
