Love And Other Afflictions

This collection of literary short stories explores themes of love, madness, delusion, and isolation set in England, Ireland, and Italy, featuring protagonists who often struggle to maintain mental stability. Drawing influence from authors like Gogol, Kafka, and Dostoevsky, the stories portray obsessional characters navigating their complex realities through odd and sometimes violent actions, with a tone that balances seriousness and humor. Despite its bleakness, the collection offers a sculpted, wry perspective on human flaws, charm, and the enduring nature of existential dilemmas.
