EX MACHINA PRESS 2:00 – 4:00 PM—Author Signing – Mark D’Anna, “Big Brown Bag: Stories”“Mark D’Anna is one of those rare writers who arrives fully-formed with his first collection, as if he’s been on our bookshelves for years, and we somehow missed him.” - LA Times Book Prize Finalist Tod Goldberg (Simplify, Living Dead Girl, Fake Liar Cheat).“Mark D’Anna’s Big Brown Bag is a wonderful debut of short stories, quick, wry, teetering on the edges of the real and the surreal, comedy and violence, balance and madness; opening to depth when it seems most accessible, mystery when it holds reality up to our faces.”—Chuck Rosenthal (The Heart of Mars, My Mistress Humanity)The stories in Big Brown Bag offer not just a world, but worlds. They are a little humorous, a little surreal, sometimes painful, but always hopeful. Here are twelve stories peopled by small boys who can’t keep their arms and legs on; old men obsessed with dead celebrities; young men obsessed with themselves; war veterans deeply in love with ghosts; old ladies mildly in love with anonymous waiters; a pregnant woman who unexpectedly finds herself un-pregnant; and, of course, Santa Claus.
