Synopsis

Gary Irvine's wife refuses to sleep with him, so he pursues an even stingier mistress: golf. But despite his spending unconscionable amounts of time and money, his game is wretched. Until the day he takes a perfect swing . . . and then everything goes black.After waking up from a coma a few weeks later, with a golf-ball-sized dent in his temple, Gary discovers that his last perfect swing has been imprinted on his brain. However, his newfound prowess is accompanied by some troubling side effects, most noticeably Tourette's.As Gary miraculously advances to the final round of the British Open, his delinquent brother, Lee, stumbles from one botched drug deal to another, his orbit drawing ever nearer to the terrifying local crime lord Ranta Campbell. With their lives on the line, Gary and Lee must rediscover the ties that bind to survive a blood-soaked final round.

    Douglas Fergus wants you to be happy. And laugh. Or at least feel good knowing you’re not the only person who thinks weird is cool. 
    He is compelled to share his quirky/humorous/satirical outlook on life in an effort to spread joy to as many people as possible. “Every day since I was about 18, at 
    least two funny ideas have appeared in my head. That’s 30,660 funny ideas. It’s about darn time I wrote a book!” 
    Small Portions Cafe´ doesn’t just push the boundaries of normalcy, it delights in doing so. 
    These highlights give you a taste of what to expect in these wonderfully absurd short stories. 
    • The complicated world of light bulbs was too much for him. 
    • He ruined his new love interest with mint flavored coffee pods. 
    • Young, dumb, broke and hooked on credit. Will his new job as an underwear 
    model save him? 
    • Koo Koo Birdy Meadow-Johnson showed him how to gently swirl his water 
    counterclockwise and bless it before sipping. 
    • Did he really loan his only copy of a handwritten manuscript to a Radio Shack 
    clerk? 
    • Does his mother really wear combat boots? 
    • Why did she let him take the lawnmower on a Miami Beach vacation? 
    Douglas Fergus' entertaining stories will take you to another world filled with 
    absurd and wacky characters, situations and outrageous moments. I laughed out 
    loud!"

    What if Pinocchio and Jesus are the same? 
    What if all that you know about Shakespeare is wrong? 
    Is being blind and rich worth it? 
    Is the world run by a satanic Mouse cult? 
    What is the secret link between the Grimm brothers and Nazism? 
    This book will change your life... provided you read it. Why? It shall show you how humour can adopt the most bizarre shapes ever, whilst in the process helping your mind to look at the world in the most original ways. Interwoven with pearls of mystical-esoteric-alchemical wisdom, this book is an homage to the meta-loving mind, creating worlds within worlds with a common thread: humour and an irreverent attitude with the pedantic and intellectual approach to life and the universe. 
    Like someone once never said: this is like Borges on acid. Or Rumi on nothing. 
    A tour-de-force through the magical delirious realism that only a naturally perturbed mind can conjure. And a read that will perfectly suit those who love to have their brains (and spirits) tickled. 
    A smoothie made with the best (and the worst) of: Gurdjieff, Borges, Shakespeare, Brothers Grimm, Wilde, Shaw, Monty Python, Community, David Foster Wallace, Rumi, Hafiz, Sedaris, Chappelle, Lynch, Ouspensky, Bennett, Frost… and many more.
