Big Head on the Block

The first published collection of stories from the creator of Storytime with Big Head. In 2021, Argentine-New Jerseyan writer Brian Gabriel Canever began publishing essays on Substack. Blending observation and introspection with humor, delusion, and a touch of magical realism, Big Head on the Block features 15 original stories with updates and improvements to their unedited versions that live on the internet.
In this collection are tales of World Cup-winning penalty kicks, failed adventures into the outdoors, childhood friendships, grown-up regrets, and the unceasing daydreams that occupy the writer's every waking minute. "The chaos that brews within its borders must be the reason I was assigned a head of such epic size," Canever muses in the book's preface. "And despite what I thought years ago, I'm still growing into it."
