Francisco's Thoughts

By David Felchner

Francisco's Thoughts is a hilarious and heartwarming tale that follows Francisco, a Spanish immigrant fresh out of grad school, as he navigates the unpredictable terrain of life in the United States. The story blends adventure, comedy, romance, and personal growth in a whirlwind of absurd situations and touching moments.

Whether he's spending his birthday with a homeless street performer named Alligator, suffering through an insufferable date at a Vanilla Ice-inspired sushi joint called Rice Rice Baby, surviving a white-water tubing trip gone hilariously wrong, getting "pickled" in pickleball by grumpy grandpas Marty and Wilbur, or watching his bizarre co-worker Bill eat sushi with tweezers and consume his Subway sandwiches sideways instead of vertically, Francisco's misadventures offer nonstop laughs and unforgettable scenes.

At the heart of the story is Francisco's blossoming romance with Olivia, an American with sharp wit and infectious charm. Together--with occasional appearances from her lovable pug, Elvis Pugsley--Francisco embarks on a series of outrageous yet meaningful adventures throughout Seattle. Their journey will have readers laughing out loud and rooting for the couple as they explore the hidden gems and unexpected corners of the Emerald City.

What makes Francisco's Thoughts truly unique is the way Francisco's inner monologue comes to life. His deepest thoughts appear on the page in spontaneous bursts of poetic reflection, adding unexpected depth and emotional resonance to the story's satirical humor.

More than just a comedic romp, Francisco's Thoughts offers a fresh and honest look at the immigrant experience, exploring the challenges of identity, romance, and reinvention with sincerity and wit. It's a perfect escape for readers craving a blend of absurdity and authenticity--a story that's as heartfelt as it is hilarious.
