"Pablo D'Stair is defining the new writer. There is NO ONE else. As reckless as Kerouac's 120-foot trace paper, D'Stair's independence from all of us needs to be studied and celebrated." (TONY BURGESS author of People Live Still In Cashtown Corners)Village Idiot Press presents the definitive editions of the collected novels, novella, and short stories of author Pablo D'Stair. The 42 volumes are presented in chronological order of composition, 2000-2020.From PIANO FORTE: The man asked him what the content of the letter was. And he looked back. His throat tense. His gorge rising and after several moments falling. And he said 'It's a suicide letter'. Closed his eyes a moment. Like wincing from a bright light. And when he opened his eyes, the woman was taking the letter from his raising hand. She looked intently at the words on the envelope front. And he asked 'Is Elise at home?'"D'Stair doesn't just write like a house afire, he writes like the whole city's burning, and these words he's putting on the page are the thing that can save us all." (STEPHEN GRAHAM JONES author of The Only Good Indian)
