The Corona Verses
Tim O'Leary
(Author)Description
In The Corona Verses you will also meet Danno's sidekick Pugs, clad in doctor's garb, hawking bogus cures in a strip mall parking lot; a homeless traveler who discovers redemption; a conspiracy theorist trapped aboard a ship with snake-handling religious nuts, a 1980's sitcom star, and a militia that can't shoot straight; a teenager experiencing new freedom behind his mask; a disenchanted Catholic priest searching for God in a karate dojo; a yacht-rock idol who escapes to Santa Pulmo to finally find peace; and Al the UPS delivery man, who connects the community and saves the town from a race war. Perfect for readers who love exploring the ties that bind communities together in times of despair and fans of Tom Perotta, BJ Novak, and Carl Hiaasen, The Corona Verses is an unexpected collection that both faces the darkness of the human condition and explores the levity and even comedy that comes with being alive.

About the Author
Reviews
"Roll over Canterbury Tales, tell John Irving the news. Tim O'Leary's sharply observed pandemic narrative of wine and woe turns out to be a superspreader event of laughter that perfectly captures the resilience of humanity under house arrest."--Adam Novak, author of Rat Park and Take Fountain
"To fully appreciate the sly insights and serrated humor of Tim O'Leary's Corona Verses, simply take a pinch of Bukowski, a dash of Hunter S., a smidge of Dickens, smoke it in a pipe and let O'Leary guide your trip through the ragged heart and fractured psyche of humanity as it endures the collective fever dream imposed by the pandemic."--Dan Merchant, creator/showrunner of Going Home and author of Lord Save Us From Your Followers
