*Hot Dog Wars* is Roberts' debut anthology where the absurdity of existence smacks you in the face and won't let go. This is where your worst nightmares rub elbows with the sublime and the grotesque. Dive into the fever dream of a Gulf War vet parading through Disneyland with Marilyn Manson in tow, or witness Hank Mitchell, the small-town camera guy who's reluctantly clawing his way into the spotlight. Meet Nico Marchand, the so-called next big thing in football, and Jessica, the barista who can't stomach her own reflection. Follow Georgia, Taylor Swift's most rabid fan, and a London cabbie who dishes out more than just rides. Then there's Yuko and Hiro, a Japanese couple stumbling through the wreckage of their fractured dreams. This collection will drag you through a gauntlet of joy, despair, and self-loathing. By the end, you'll be questioning why you ever turned the page and hating yourself for loving every second of it.
