By Charles Dickens.

Charles Dickens' twelfth novel was published in his new weekly journal, All the Year Round, without illustrations. Simultaneously with the weekly parts, the novel was also published in monthly parts with illustrations by Hablot Browne. An American edition was also published, in slightly later weekly parts (May to December 1859), in Harper's Weekly. Charles Dickens’s belief in renaissance is borne out in this epic novel—as cities are overthrown and transformed, and cynics become selfless heroes.

Bordering on the cynical, toying with the absurd, this collection of original stories probes the depths and edges of human existence. The Tommie Felon Show is a story that's so post modern, it's very funny. Death at the Y is a salute to Thomas Mann, or is it a parody? And then, Rounding Error is anything but statistics. All of the twelve stories are engaging, entertaining, and perhaps best (or worst) of all, will have you wondering, "is civilized society really so screwed up?" See all reviews

The opening story of MONA, inspired by the Museum of Old and New Art located in Hobart, Tasmania, sets the stage for this collection of short stories that adds an Australian flavor to Colin Heston’s acclaimed The Tommie Felon Show. As one reviewer of that collection noted “…vivid and real, some of the stories seem to jump out of the pages… engaging, hilarious, unique… a commentary on human desires, shortcomings and the society we live in…. one has to look beyond the words and the events in these stories to really appreciate them.” (Readers’ Favorite). The stories range across many styles, prose poems, jottings that are almost aphorisms, classic stories of human emotion and the contradictions of human existence, dystopian themes and settings, all engaging, never dull.
