Here’s an introduction to it in Eugene's own words: “*A musical comedy about a musical comedy; where humour is served meta and the fourth wall is taken as seriously as cancer: it must be destroyed.* *Filled with bizarre twists and absurd scenarios, THE INFINITE WALLACE YOUNG* *is either an admirable post-modernistic exploration of reality and truth – or just lazy writing. You decide. (Or do you?)*” Looking forward to seeing how things will play out?
