Sơn Nguyễn | 11 comments Genre: fiction. Years: I forgot.

Plot details: It is a collection of many strange stories but I have forgotten most of them. I only remember one story about the man who invented fertilizer. The story is told from the point of view of a child.
At first, the son was very proud because his father had created an extremely good fertilizer and it helped the family become famous.
But gradually the fertilizer attracted a lot of flies and it turned into a disaster when flies swarmed his town.

Thank you.

anonymous phantom | 14 comments this is kind of a wild guess and I can't confirm it as I haven't read them myself but could it have been one of the weenies books? (here's a link to more info) https://literature.fandom.com/wiki/Th... I've heard a little bit about it from a friend and its a really strange short story collection.
