False Hope

Explore what happens when a tyrannical president tries to control a nation with knock-knock jokes, read the narrative of an irrational woman looking for love, and divulge in a few bad poems in college-student Ansley Martinez's first collection of short stories. You might laugh, you might cringe, but you'll enjoy it. Plus, the cover will look marvelous on your coffee table so you can brag to your friends about reading the "latest young and undiscovered author with a sense of humor that is just so...meta." Disclaimer: you don't have to be an elitist to read this book.
