The President's Parasite and Other Stories by Jim Musgrave
Topic: Blog Tours
The President's Parasite and Other Stories by Jim Musgrave

In The President's Parasite, Jim Musgrave resurrects all that has gone missing in today's literature: originality. The title story is a Kafkaesque piece from the point-of-view of an intellectual tapeworm trapped inside a moronic president, and the satirical impact is worthy of Swift. The other stories range from a widower trapped inside the Clock Tower in Baghdad that he constructed, to a baseball pitcher who becomes a living vegetable after a batted ball strikes his head. All in all, there is something for everyone in this collection of 30 eye-popping stories from a truly gifted author.

Hi Ron,

I'd enjoy it if you could review the book.  I'll email you a .pdf copy, if that's okay?

Hello Juparana,

Thanks for the encouragement!  I believe an author goes through phases with other writers who influence your style.  It's a lot like love:  first, you try to be the other person and devour them whole, then, you attempt to flatter them by copying their style, and, finally, you show the greatest love by becoming yourself and creating out of the center of respect for both of you.
