"Dumb Music picks at the scabs of life with a dirty, broken fingernail. A chemically imbalanced blend of humor, sadness, and heart. Alex Antiuk is a fine writer." -Alan ten-Hoeve, author of Notes from a Wood-Paneled Basement

In his first published collection of short stories, Alex Antiuk explores happy-go-lucky characters who are lost between worlds, often without knowing it. The streets of the city take the background of his thirteen succinct stories, that centre instead on share-house bathrooms, back alley dumpsters and the backseat of cars. His honest and open prose present snapshots into a lived-in world-where home is transitory, and relationships are either lifeboats or another awaiting wave of turbulence.
