Greg's Gift | A Novella | Part 3

In the third part of Mookie's autobiographical novella, the chaos crescendoes as Our Hero finally connects with Greg, but not before being consumed by a whirlwind of cultural appropriation, personal revelations, and a growing desperation to reclaim his independence. As Alexa morphs from lover to squatter in a lace-and-lasagna fever dream, Mookie grapples with childhood trauma, romantic dysfunction, and the question of whether escape is survival or surrender. From drug-fueled spooning to philosophical soliloquies, a cast of flamboyant misfits swirls through a Chicago backdrop that’s as brutally honest as it remains bizarre. And just when you think it couldn’t get weirder, the infamous Jackie the Snearch steps in, prior to his role in Mookie's Christmas novel from last year (really, really). Come for the duffel bag full of drugs — stay for the existential meltdown.
