Paul E Kmiotek: 3 books

Gathering of Imbeciles is an irreverent look at zookeeping through the eyes of Donald, a keeper at the fictitious Corona Park Zoo. The four short stories that chronicle his adventures - chock-full of feces, urine, and pus - would likely not be picked up by Disney-Pixar for an uplifting, animal-related Summer release. Donald may well be the next comic anti-hero for disgruntled workers everywhere.

The third and final book in the epic Gathering of Imbeciles trilogy finds Donald cleaning up after his boss, sitting in the lounge, and looking for another job. And, of course, scowling. Book Three continues to chronicle the rise and fall of the fictitious Corona Park Zoo with four short stories and three appendices.

Donald, the comic anti-hero of Gathering of Imbeciles: Book One, continues his adventures at the fictitious Corona Park Zoo. He scowls and grumbles his way through alligator training, a trip to Georgia to pick up some farm animals, and a botched bison procedure. If you enjoyed Book One, the five short stories comprising Book Two are sure to entertain.
