Termite Parade

In this unnerving yet entertaining follow-up to Mohr's first novel, Some Things That Meant the World to Me (Two Dollar Radio, 2010), Mired, the self-described `bastard daughter of a menage a trois between Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Sylvia Plath and Eeyore', catalogues her 'museum of emotional failures', the latest of which is her boyfriend Derek, an auto mechanic (whose body may or may not be infested with termites), who loses his cool carrying her up the stairs to their apartment. As Derek's termites wreak havoc on his nervous system, chaos ensues.
