Publisher's Synopsis
A diverse melange of micro-fictions, from 4.80 to 950 words
each. Lives in miniature. Bonsai novels .
A man wins his dream vacation to Omaha, a woman
dies, a child drives a maniac bus, a student pushes the limits
of algebra, old women play checkers, it rains for forty days,
and the swallows nest in the chimney.
Flashes & Floaters is a mix of the serious and the farcical,
the surreal and the real, a series of skidding U-turns within the
familiar drive-and like most days, it all comes in a mix.
With his mate Elizabeth Fuller,
Conrad Bishop has written 40+ plays,
hundreds of sketches, and five novels.
His plays have been produced
Off-Broadway, in regional theatres,
and in thousands of their own
performances nationwide. Their public
radio series have been heard nationally,
and he is twice winner of writing
fellowships from the National
Endowment for the Arts.
