Goodnight Suzy: A Collection of Short Stories

Goodnight Suzy is a collection of semiautobiographical short stories narrated by Fellmann's reckless alter ego, Johann Felmanstien. The stories appear in loose chronological order, documenting the author's development from a lovelorn kindergartener into a hard-drinking globetrotter. The narrative deals with crucial elements in this process, such as his childhood crush becoming a stripper, his dangerous romance with an air rifle, his crash course in boozing, his witnessing a man's death, his first solo trip abroad, and his college relationship with a nymphomaniac who dragged him to the final layer of hell. Though the book cradles a largely negative space, much like the night sky, points of light are visible, and a sliver of hope can be found.
