Goodnight Suzy

<p><em>Goodnight Suzy</em> is a collection of semiautobiographical short stories narrated by Fellmann's reckless alter ego Johann Felmanstien. The stories appear in loose chronological order documenting the author's development from a lovelorn kindergartener into a hard-drinking globetrotter. The narrative deals with crucial elements in this process such as his childhood crush becoming a stripper his dangerous romance with an air rifle his crash course in boozing his witnessing a man's death his first solo trip abroad and his college relationship with a nymphomaniac who dragged him to the final layer of hell. Though the book cradles a largely negative space much like the night sky points of light are visible and a sliver of hope can be found. </p>
