About
The Norman McFinger series, or the Norman McFinger trilogy, is a series of satirical-adventure short stories by Fisher Morgan. Consisting of three books, the series follows the title character through various uncanny and random events. Classified as a work of nonsense literature, the books use a unique style that involves subverted logical reasoning portrayed through unorthodox characters and plot lines.

All books, ‘The Adventures of Norman McFinger’, ‘Norman McFinger II: The Adventure Continues’, and 'Norman McFinger III: Revenge of the Finger', were released digitally via the series’s website from October 2018 to May 2019. The main protagonist Norman McFinger lives in a strange world where nothing makes sense, even the nature of his narration. The stories are written from the omniscient first-person perspective of Norman, whose ability to absorb the stories of others in great detail provides the basis for the many segues in the books. Other recurring characters in the loosely-based storyline include Dick, Dad, and Sister McFinger, Yut, Steve, Lionel.

Our Mutual Friend

Our Mutual Friend is a 1865 novel by English author Charles Dickens, and was the last completed by him during his lifetime. One of his most sophisticated works, it combines savage satire with social analysis. It centres on, in the words of critic J. Hillis Miller, quoting from the character Bella Wilfer in the book, "money, money, money, and what money can make of life". It is alluded to by Norman in Norman McFinger III: Revenge of the Finger.

In Chapter 2 of the third book, Norman is invited to the funeral of the recently deceased Tymothi, who was killed in Chapter 1. His invitation stated that Norman was a 'mutual friend' of Tymothi's. He is initially confused by the term, and researches it on the internet. He finds that the phrase is associated with Charles Dickens, and believes the author's name is the title of a book, claiming that "that book takes forever to read." The book that Norman is actually referring to is Our Mutual Friend, which is actually one of the top search results for 'mutual friend' on most online search engines.

Some similarities exist between Our Mutual Friend and the Norman McFinger book series; both are satirical by genre, are often criticised for being "too complex and not well laid out", and involve the experimentation of narrative structure...read more
