Before the Euro, before smartphones, before Amanda Knox, Kevin headed to Florence to study abroad armed only with a skateboard and a poor grasp of the Italian language. What follows is a deadpan comedy about culture shock, family baggage, and growing up by accident in a foreign country.Kevin’s roommate is annoying, the city is confusing, and he’s not entirely sure why he’s there-other than to get away from home. There are weird Germans, sorority girls, a three-wheeled Ape, Hare Krishnas, Buddhists, and a slow-burning crush on his dad’s girlfriend’s daughter. He fumbles through Italian class, group tours, and long afternoons wandering streets with names he can’t pronounce. And perhaps dropping acid in the Vatican wasn’t the smartest move?The third installment of a loose trilogy, Firenze is like Mountain View meets Kato meets An Idiot Abroad. Or a snarky Before Sunrise. For anyone who ever visited Europe with nothing but a Eurail pass and a dogeared copy of Let’s Go, this one’s for you.

    Stuart Evans’s first novel is a comedy-of-ill-manners set in a nouveau riche milieu: a fantastic satirical performance and hyper-referential homage to masters past and present. Paul Keller is the Stephen Dedalus of the piece, the son of Robert and Sylvie, whose internal monologue is spliced into the action, and whose incestuous feelings for his sister lead to an increase in his...

For years, they existed only on a floppy disk, half-forgotten in the back of my desk drawer. They are presented here in their original form-time capsules from a bygone era.If you enjoy these stories, look for my novels Mountain View, Kato, and Firenze-a loos...
