DS Swanson despises talking about himself in the third-person, so this won't take long. He is best known for writing "Young L'adorsity": a mashup of Greek tragedy, alternate-history and experimental fiction, all told in a devolved pseudo-Shakespearean prose. If a 121-page novel feels like too much of a commitment, you can always go with "Ten Quirks of Fiction", a book of exactly eleven short stories. Look for a story called "Soul Mates"...it just might be the most bizarre thing you've ever read today.
