Dick Cheney Shot Me in the Face
Dick Cheney Shot Me in the Face: And Other Stories of Men in Pain | Timothy O'Leary
2 posts | 1 read
This fresh and open-eyed short stories collection from Portland, Oregon, author - Tim O'leary, is an insightful journey into the micro-moments of other people's lives. Small moments which together, in verbal pointillism, make up the bigger picture of life in modern America. The collection fearlessly distills for the reader tinctures of joy, pain, madness, heartbreak, greed, and other components of the human capacity for good and evil, for beauty and ugliness. O'leary showcases humanity in a fluent, fun read, which will let you peek into the most intimate and the well familiar entrails of existence. Few books around these days possess the capability to bring both a tear to your eye and smile to your lips, within the span of a few chapters, such as this work does.

Tim says at a reading, "this story was inspired by a time I went to Costco to buy $1,000 worth of stuff for no reason at all...because that's what happens when you go in there."

Incredibly out of this world hilarious with a shot of pain. O'leary's diction and subtle humor makes you look at the world anew.
