A wild, sex-and-peyote-fueled road trip through heartbreak and the mythic American West, Fourteen Stories, None of Them Are Yours is a fever dream and cult classic of love, loss, and self-destruction. Goebel’s grief-stricken adrenalized alter ego goes on a cross-country search for his sanity—crashing through relationships, memories, and mania from New York to Texas, Puerto Rico to Los Angeles, spiraling through the wreckage of a love affair that won’t stay put. Grieving the sudden death of his brother and a past that won’t let go, the narrator must rewrite his own story before it devours him. At its heart, this is a raw reckoning with loss, abuse, and madness, told in lyrical prose that feels pulled from the heart of a bard on fire. With echoes of The Dharma Bums, The Chronology of Water, and The Catcher in the Rye, this is an untamed, confessional Künstlerroman—a howl of desire, dislocation, and the burning need to belong to a world that doesn’t even exist.
