About the Book
As a mixture of pure adventure and tragedy,the story
of Stick-Guy,the ill-drawn brain-burp of Stan the
Burger-flipper, and his futile quest for perfection
transcends the barrier of time, for it revolves around
fundamental desires, ambitions, and problems common to
all heroes, whether super or ordinary. This then is the
story of Stick-Guy's long and arduous journey toward
perfection, of his encounters with monsters and
mummies, dragons and demons, gods and demigods, and
of the countless friends he earned along the way.
Eloquent and imaginative, you have here a story more
profound than the common stick-figure's quest for fame
and superpower, for Stick-Guy has a truly epic quality
and scope, and this version is one of the finest surviving
epic poems from the Cavern of Failed Creations.
About the Author
With less than a billion of his books in print worldwide,
Jay Singh is perhaps the most sardonic, perplexing and
insightful fabler of our day. In the EPIC OF STICK-GUY
he immerses the reader in a world of stories, old and
new, where Stick-Guy hunts the jewel of each story so
that he may be magically morphed into a new version of
himself. Drawing on fairy tale, folk tale, and mythology -
as well as modern philosophical and psychological
thought - Singh has created a witty and highly
engaging work of genius.
