LIVERPOOL—James McAlister, who describes himself as “fun-employed,” caused a stir this week by releasing his literary debut, ’50 Shades of Single.’ “My daily life is a whirlwind of thrilling monotony,” McAlister assured readers, highlighting his daily odyssey from bed to couch.
As word spread, McAlister became something of a local sensation. “I love reading about his escapades,” shared neighbor Carol Jenkins. “James’s tales from the grocery store queue are edge-of-your-seat material—like, will he choose organic bananas or not?” Carol added that she’s particularly excited for his live readings at the local library, where he reportedly invites audiences to nap alongside him.
Heavily rumored next projects include ’52 Flavors of Takeout’ and ‘Exciting Evenings: Netflix and Silence.’ “Why limit myself to just 50 shades when my life contains at least a dozen shades of beige?” McAlister pondered, smiling at his ever-growing collection of takeout menus. His future culinary adventure with frozen meals has already been dubbed ‘chilling.’
