Life can be a grind. Sometimes you punch a clock, and sometimes you punch a guy who says he's a black belt. Either way, the struggle is real-endless hours pushing paperwork or pushing training mats, and one final showdown with a powerful boss...
Fist City by James Mendez Hodes: Among suburban America's parking lots and strip malls, a secret community of martial pilgrims and sublime masters bows to no temporal authority, and disregards such mortal concerns as effectiveness, authenticity, racism, or taste. From the octagon to the lunchroom, will strength and skill alone prevail? Dare you walk the boulevard of broken boards? Fist City is about suburban America's most mediocre martial artists and the epic, life-consuming rivalries between them. Business Casual by Steve Segedy: Another day surrounded by the same cubicle walls under the same fluorescent lights, your mid-level manager shadowing your every step as you type out yet another mind-numbing report. But today's the day it all changes, right? It's time to stand up and tell them what you think, and either get that promotion or finally get out of this hell once and for all. Or maybe just burn it all down. Requires Fiasco (box set) to play.
