Fly on the Wall

Privy to the details of all your secret moments, all your misdeeds, private
conversations and indulgences, the fly on the wall is neutral. It doesn't care
that you cheat on your income tax, it won't stop you from jumping, and it
won't call the police when you eliminate the neighbor's cat. It sees you spike
the punch, touch yourself, curse your spouse, and switch your Scrabble tiles
when your opponent leaves to pee. The Fly on the Wall is a finely illustrated
collection of short "punch fiction" stories intended for adults. Inspired by
the age-old expression, "Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall for that
conversation?" the creators have teamed up to explore what some of these
private conversations, moments, and encounters might be like. The short
stories and pen-and-ink drawings throughout The Fly on the Wall are dark and
subversive by nature, with an inherent wry humor prevalent throughout. Along
with the fly, the reader eavesdrops on church confessionals, jail visits,
funeral homes, assisted suicide, hitchhiking, cross-dressing, alcoholism, and
murder . . . to name a few. With arresting visuals and reminiscent of the
storytelling in a Robert Altman film, The Fly on the Wall is a collection that
is sure to provoke, shock, and inspire.
