Filled with dark humor, misanthropic tendencies and a yearning for real human connections, Karen Davidson’s short story “Clear Violet” takes a walk on the metaphysical side through the torrid world of aura readers and vegetarian restaurants.
Punctuated by Michelle Devereux’s collages of culinary mishaps such as “Bilbo Baggins Underground Stew,” the hilarious and lonely tale pits the simple desires of one waitress against everyday absurdities — the latter of which are eloquently echoed in the Pillow Queens’ accompanying release, Kookoolegit.
