Imogen
and ISIS: A Story of Terrorism and Manhattan Apartment Rents
By
Jack Mauro
Genre:
Fiction, Dark Comedy
Novella,
128 pages.
Synopsis:
A
modern and dark comedy combining one woman's struggle to live in a city she
cannot afford with a native New Yorker's rather different path. Imogen Curtis -
40, idealistic, and a fool for New York - is thrown in multiple directions as
she negotiates with the madness that is securing a place to live in
Manhattan. At the same time, Ahmad
Bertesh's personal pain seizes upon the monstrous presence of ISIS as
inspiration for avenging himself on a heartless city. Destinies finally collide
in a remarkably non-violent way, with a cast of manic secondary characters,
insight, and just enough satire to emphasize the crazy of these lives and the
metropolis in 2014.
