Triumph of the Egg, and Other Stories

A wandering collection of impressionistic tales and poems, this volume invites listeners into the quiet corners of a restless mind. Vivid, fragmentary scenes drift from a cold doorstep where stories shiver, to a dimly lit house where three enigmatic men wait beside a silent, yearning woman. The narrator’s voice trembles with a yearning to give voice to a story that feels just out of reach, creating an intimate portrait of longing and bewilderment.

The second half shifts to a gritty, early‑twentieth‑century journey across a Kentucky town, where youthful boys hop freight trains, chase horses, and encounter the raw edges of everyday life. Though the language reflects its historical moment, the episodes capture a raw, unvarnished slice of American experience—humor, hardship, and the uneasy search for meaning. Listeners will find a mosaic of emotions that linger long after the final line.
