AVOCADO AVENUE

This oddball novella from Pilliard Dickle proves that it's possible to ramble on about nothing and still be fairly tolerable. Best known as the creator of the Land of Calendaria, Dickle has concocted a collection of chapterettes that you can't help but pop like caramel popcorn, until before you know it, you've accidentally read the whole thing. It's like Lit Lite. Avocado Avenue has been compared to the quirkier works of Richard Brautigan, and Gene Shalit raves: "Pilliard Dickle is a born storyteller with an inventive mind that never stops."
