Sinopsis

George Ade's 'Fables in Slang' is a masterstroke of early 20th-century American literature that deftly combines wit and satire to critique the social mores of its time. Through precise, acerbic prose and the inventive use of colloquial language, Ade constructs a series of moral tales that are as poignant as they are humorous. Presented within a contemporary format by DigiCat Publishing, this particular edition has been meticulously restored, ensuring the preservation and accessibility of Ade's culturally significant anthology for a modern audience. Each fable, dipped in Ade's signature vernacular, sprouts from the rich soil of American literary naturalism, cleverly mirroring the societal landscape of the Progressive Era while offering a timeless reflection on human nature's follies and virtues.
George Ade, a luminary of his era, was a herald of the American Midwest's sensibilities. His background as a journalist imbued his work with observational precision and a populist sensibility, glorifying the common touch while skewering pretension with his satire. 'Fables in Slang' emerged from this crucible, encapsulating Ade's profound understanding of the human condition juxtaposed with his Midwestern pragmatism. It stands as an articulate commentary, crystallizing turn-of-the-century American thought and the universality of everyday absurdities.
This edition of 'Fables in Slang' is essential reading not only for those with an interest in linguistic creativity but also for anyone seeking to understand the sociocultural dynamics of early 1900s America. It is recommended for enthusiasts of satire, students of American history and literature, and anyone who appreciates biting humor intertwined with cultural critique. As DigiCat Publishing revives Ade's legacy, new generations can now appreciate the rich tapestry of language and thought that makes this collection a timeless classic in the realm of literary finesse.

    What would you do if you found a rare magical animal? 
    Nico, who has just begun passing as a transgender man, relishes the quiet life working as a bonsai bodyguard. But during a chance encounter one night amidst the aftermath of a territory dispute, he meets Brant, an excitable, good-natured cookie guard, and the two strike an instant friendship. They form an irresistible bond with Gustopher, a baby gargoyle in need, setting off on a thrilling 3-day adventure to rescue the creature and reunite it with its rightful owner. 
    As they set out on their mission, the mismatched duo encounter predicaments unusual to new foster parents. Unscrupulous enemies lurk in the shadows, eager to exploit Gustopher on the black market. In order to ensure Gus's safety, Nico and Brant must quickly learn how to nurture (what do gargoyles eat, anyway?) and safeguard their newfound charge. Fortunately, their journey leads them to encounter Remi the vampire, an eccentric cheese guard from Wisconsin, and Jasper, a seasoned traveler, who faithfully accompanies the renowned Manley Cup, the cherished trophy of a championship hockey team. 
    Together, this peculiar quartet must combine their unique talents navigating both gargoyle-raising and crime-boss hunting. As they traverse the mountain metropolis of Multnomah, their hidden secrets gradually come to light, forging unbreakable bonds and solidifying their motley chosen family. And in the midst of it all, Gustopher surprises them with delightful…qualities, adding an extra dose of astonishment everywhere they go.
