Already known for his works of speculative fiction, author John
Edward Lawson uses Discouraging at Best to take a look at the
"real" world. On the pages within are five interlinked tales that,
when pieced together, paint a panorama of apathy, greed, and
manipulation. We follow the self-inflicted plight of working class
families and their efforts to step on others in the race to get
ahead. We watch the petty wars of Nobel laureates. We become
immersed in the minds of those caught in an ankle-biters rebellion.
We are drawn into the intrigues and incompetence of those pulling
the strings at the highest level of government. And, ultimately, we
wonder: why? Here the absurdity of the mundane expands
exponentially creating a tidal wave that sweeps reason away. For
those who enjoy satire, bizarro literature, or a good old-fashioned
slap to the senses, Discouraging at Best offers extra helpings of
each.
