The triumph of the nut, and other parodies

A series of short parodies that adopt and exaggerate the voices and mannerisms of various early twentieth-century writers, recasting familiar stylistic traits—sentimentalism, melodrama, formal mannerisms, modernist fragmentation—into comic sketches. Each chapter imitates a distinct authorial tone and narrative habit, turning characteristic phrasing, plot devices, and thematic preoccupations into absurd premises and ironic set pieces. The collection functions as satirical pastiche, using humor and hyperbole to reveal and play with contemporary literary conventions across fiction and poetry.
