T.G. Fleming (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2003

Underground comedian and all-around malcontent T.G. Fleming has finally gotten off his ass and gathered his greatest hits in this delirious collection. Filled with the fierce social commentary, biting sexual satire, strange stories, and bizarre ruminations that Fleming is known (and often reviled) for, "Dead Leprechaun in a Tire-Swing" will spice up any given bowel movement or trip to the beach!

Inside you’ll learn: how to be a better lover, how to unite Protestants and Catholics, the real meaning of ancient proverbs, which animal you’ve never seen screwing on a nature show, the true function of the ego, how to be a pirate, why "Broads" are the best type of woman, new fetishes to improve the world, a Sasquatch prayer, and much, much more!

Since most of us do have some sort of attention-deficit disorder, this book is perfect! I often get frustrated, b/c I am not able to finish a chapter -- let alone a book.

Instead, Fleming gives a great ride in "Leprechaun". What I love is how he opens up. You feel his hate, his passion, disdain, scorn. He doesn't hide what his devious way of thinking. Very entertaining! Just don't think of giving this book as a gift to your Catholic mother in Pittsburgh.

NOTE: I gave this 4 stars, b/c there are passages that I prefer to skip over.

This review is from: Dead Leprechaun in a Tire-Swing (Paperback)

This book is not for the faint of heart. In his usual shoot from the hip straight into your gut style, Fleming has succeeded again to shock even his oldest fans. This collection of short stories dissecting the "average" Mensch is short of hilarious, black humor at its best.

This review is from: Dead Leprechaun in a Tire-Swing (Paperback)

T.G. Fleming is an incredibly imaginative writer. "Dead Leprechaun in a Tire-Swing" is mostly made up of short, comedic pieces (a few longer ones), but almost none miss the mark. The author flip-flops between dozens of distinct voices, but always with a surreal twist that never telegraphs the punchline. Every page has a new surprise to make you laugh out loud, provoke thought, or both. A remarkably diverse talent.
