Story
In 1966, John Kim Faye was born out of wedlock to a 40-year-old Korean mother and a 62-year-old Irish father. Faye grew up in the state of Delaware, where laws forbidding interracial marriage were still on the books until 1967. As the lead singer and primary songwriter of the Caulfields, Faye was one of the only mixed-race Asian American frontman to sign a major record contract in the alternative rock heyday of the 1990s. In an era that preceded K-Pop—and even the rise of the internet—Faye’s personal journey did not lead to superstardom.

Sweetpatch Island, South Carolina, 1971. For young Boo Taylor it’s a land of lush salt marshes and sun-soaked beaches, rich in history and folklore—yet steeped in superstition and hiding a terrifying secret. After twenty years of self-imposed exile, Boo is summoned home to Sweetpatch upon news of his father’s strange death to face the friends and enemies of his youth, including his long-forsaken love. It seems everything he ran away from—the bigotry, the violence, the betrayal—has been buried under a modern landscape of golf courses and luxury hotels.

The Success Paradox is the improbable story of a life and business transformed, told in a warmly authentic style that says: “I hit rock bottom, I surrendered, I began doing the opposite of what I’d been doing before, miracles happened, and here’s what you can learn from my journey.” With riveting personal details that illuminate his discoveries, Gary details how he defied the odds—not just to survive but to thrive—by implementing a series of paradoxical strategies, fundamentally opposite to anything he’d ever done before.
Publisher's Summary
In 10 engaging and original short stories, author Benjamin Harnett visits characters at the end of the world and chronicles their immense personal growth—figuratively and, sometimes, literally. Inventive and poetic, these stories bend genres, marrying tales of domestic woes, coming-of-age, love and friendship, loss and discovery, with fantastic and mysterious happenings on an individual, societal, and global scale. From the dangers of vaccine skepticism to the ethics of museum displays of looted artifacts, the stories in Gigantic hit important issues head on.
From suburban New Jersey to subterranean caverns, from the mysteries of quantum entanglement to the attacks of homicidal squirrels, from young Communists to giant youngsters, every page is a journey to an unexpected milieu.
In “Gigantic”, the children of the world experience a growth spurt. In “The Snap”, a woman has the power to replay moments in her life. In “The Weather Underground”, a young cave guide is faced with his hardest path yet. “Delivery” is all about freeing yourself, and in “Tom Doolie”, a very nasty man doesn’t get what he deserves. “The Stick Man” is a tale of rebirth, while “Natalia” is about the face we present to the world. “This Little Piggy” went to market. “Nuts!” is crazy. “The Device” will recreate your most-prized possessions save one.
