Dead Letter Office
Description:... Dead Letter Office was inspired by the trials and tribulations of maneuvering through the delicate social strata of living in a major city, building a successful teaching career and attempting to find a decent date in the process. Dead Letter Office is a collection of humorous essays, formatted as unsent letters, detailing the chaotic lives, chronicles, and relationship pandemonium of a cast of quintessentially Los Angeles characters; which includes a self-proclaimed artist, a wannabe actor, a very scary lawyer, and one big stinky hippie. Told in an innovative, engaging format, the various L.A. stories of these colorful characters intersect and interweave, allowing the reader to glimpse a cross-section of what it is like for so many people, trying to live and love in L.A. Poor decision making, and unique obstacles and idiosyncrasies that are perhaps native to Los Angeles' urban landscape all too often result in ugly life lessons being learned rather than the happiness that's being sought actually being found. However all of the character's interpersonal foibles and misadventures are relayed in the author's humorous, deadpan manner, making them every bit as entertaining as they are cautionary.
