With his first short story collection earning him comparisons to early Ondaatje and Cohen, Ian Orti returns with his third book and second short story collection. Royal Mountain City Fugue takes cues from 19th century Vienna, 70's Ireland, Armageddon, and the very worst of science fiction to unveil a fresh cast of lovers, losers, cosmonauts, butter smugglers, tennis champions, shamans, and matriarchs.
