- Infinite Pest: A talented author loses all control of his manuscript and the footnotes go on forever.
- The Shops of the Fisherman: To meet the ever-increasing cost of litigation brought by the families of former altar boys, Vatican City is leased out to a multinational shopping mall conglomerate.
- Lost Verizon : While climbing in the Himalayas, a yuppie is extremely disturbed to find that his cell phone no longer works
- The Unbearable Tightness of Being : Memoir of an Asthma Patient
- Lady Windermere's Fin : Inbreeding in Victorian England
- The Cremains of the Day -- a Mitford-Ishiguro production.

- The Brothels Karamazov : Heidi Fleiss meets Dostoevski
