- a novella
98,95 kr. Head and heart, body and soul, is and ought - the world to college student Ace Edelman is forever torn in two. A special love heals him, but when it goes away, will he be able to find meaning in the seemingly unremarkable daily life we are all expected to live? Or will he find in Eros and ideas the only life worth living? In narrative scenes of young love, deadly violence, and humor-tinged treasure hunting, "A Waste of Shame" explores the murky moral border between having nothing to be ashamed of, and being ashamed of nothing.
