PABLO PICASSO TEACHES HIGH SCHOOL: Even though he's still alive and looking for work, the greatest artist of the twentieth century can't get hired as a substitute high-school art teacher because he isn't certified. PASTIME: A surreal meditation on America's pastime, involving a bat and a whole lot of skulls. POETS ANONYMOUS: Romance. Longing. Amateur verse of questionable quality.

WHITE TRASH BINGO: A trailer park, a tattered bathrobe, a sixteen-year-old pregnant daughter, pork rinds, and ... a winning lottery ticket? PASTIME ..". worthy of the long-forgotten sadism of Faulkner's Jason Compson: real, brutal, and funny ... something Hunter S. Thompson might have thought up on a hallucinogenic trip in a stolen Caddie Vegas. Great stuff." -Jeff Rice, Ryder Magazine THE ROAD IS AN ASPHALT HOSTESS ..". a welcome return to the American folk tradition of storytelling." -Gabrielle Kaplan, Chicago Reader WHITE TRASH BINGO ..". a tasteless and derivative study of low brow caricatures ... with no seeming purpose other than to make fun of their exaggerated egregiousness." -T S Kerrigan, Drama-Logue
