After reading “Call me Pomeroy” I thought I was ready for anything Hanna had to offer. But wait, there’s more! Much more. These short stories are bizarre, characters come back to visit at different times in their growth(?) and circumstances seen from both sides. With just a few quick slashes, we have a full-fledged killer, stalker, stalked, misunderstandings and a bit of buffoonery in all the most fascinating ways. Strangeness abounds in all the most spellbinding ways. I had to take a breath between each chapter to remember how to breath.

Pomeroy is a legend in his own pants. He may even be a man for the ever changing times, but he is mostly, if not completely, totally self-involved. His view of the world is in total need of an eye/brain exam, but somehow he manages to charm his way into the various lives of parole officers, European Femen, the universal disenfranchised, fellow inmates and anarchist wanna-be-s. No one can change his self-centered world view but everyone loves his music. He’s homeless, honest, protective and totally disassociated with anyone’s feelings. So how can he be so loveable? Well, seems he’s got “Ants in his pants.” And everyone can identify with that. He is funny, freaky, and prime for fame, yet generous to a fault. This is the second book of Hanna’s I’ve read and he doesn’t repeat himself. His stories are worlds unto themselves. That takes talent! >
