‘Poopy Derringer and the Singing Monkey of Death’ and Other Metaphysicalities

In his latest short story anthology, Zakharin answers (or at least addresses) all of the Big Questions in Life: the Time Loop of the Very Existence of All Things [Poopy Derringer and the Singing Monkey of Death]; demonic underpants [Selected Shorts]; getting small (more in an Alice-ish sort of way, than in the Steve Martin-esque manner of such) [Istigkeit]; beautiful women in the park [The Spanish Garden]; and what to have for lunch [Hunger of the Soul].

A collection of fiction rich with fantasy and humor… an esoteric and metaphysical mêlée of insight—and/or insanity—which, if after reading, one were to feel as if he had been held down by Aldous Huxley, tickled by Oscar Wilde, and punched in the throat by Mikhail Bulgakov… well, actually, if such is the effect, there might be bigger issues at play. Butanyhoo…
