Norman McFinger series

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 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, and Lionel.

The table below lists all Norman McFinger books published to date.
