Pink Flamingo Waves is a gripping collection of short stories - including a tale about two friend's true test of loyalty and a stripper forced to work as an informant for the FBI. These stories exist in worlds just past reality, or not? Just slightly uncomfortable, familiar - until, suddenly, they aren't. Each story reveals at once the absolute absurdity and magnificence of being alive. Neil's writing and world-building demand space to reflect on, react to, and then live in it.
