The Georgellen Club edition by Mike Keenan Literature Fiction eBooks
So engaging! This book of short stories made me want to keep reading so that I could get to know more of the devoutly human characters...complex characters that reminded me that no one is all good or all bad. I loved the way the author created a group of stories that stood on their own yet gained more meaning through their extended relationship to each other by way of the Georgellen Club.Product details

The Georgellen Club edition by Mike Keenan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Mike Keenan has an eye for interesting characters and tells their story with a unique voice.
This is a book of 15 stories about different people who are connected by a restaurant/bar on Galveston Island, Texas. They don't all know each other and their stories are unique and terribly interesting. And you don't have to read them in order. This writer has a definite style - using parentheses and lots of commas - which makes the book all the more interesting.
Around midnight, the writer, not a small man—he is almost too large for the space—sits shirtless at a cluttered desk in the undersized efficiency. His room is situated to the rear of a miniature block of similar ‘apartments’ located in one of Austin's low-rent neighborhoods. Atop the desk are piled innumerable Big Chief tablets, their curled yellow pages covered in jagged handwriting. Next door he hears his neighbor running a bath. Later, the sultry nighttime stillness is pierced by the howling of unseen dogs.
He continues, bent over his gray Smith Corona SL460, hitting the keyboard in determined fashion, hard fingers punching in staccato rhythm. The nearby green plastic bottle of Mountain Dew grows tepid. On the faux wood paneling hangs a single wooden crucifix. Next to it is thumb-tacked a glossy poster of Farrah Fawcett-Majors, back arched, flashing her best high-beam smile in a burnt-orange swimsuit...
Occasionally the writer mops his face with a tatty basketball jersey that may once have been blue. His anemic window-fan cannot keep sweat from pouring out of his weary flesh; a number of droplets even falling to speckle the paper in his typewriter. Finally, as the stony predawn of another hot Austin day approaches, his fingers stop jack-hammering. With a yawn, stretching stiffly, a prisoner—or anchorite—in his tiny cell, he sits back and seems to relax. Something resembling a human smile crosses his face, like a ghostly fissure appearing in a slab of granite; but only for an instant, and then it is gone.
So engaging! This book of short stories made me want to keep reading so that I could get to know more of the devoutly human characters...complex characters that reminded me that no one is all good or all bad. I loved the way the author created a group of stories that stood on their own yet gained more meaning through their extended relationship to each other by way of the Georgellen Club.
