Synopsis

Scott Alvin can't live with himself. Returning home from near death at a drive-by shooting, Scott finds his roommate, Jase, talking to... Scott Alvin. Jase, a burnout pot-dealing tattoo artist, assumes this other Scott must be a twin. No such luck. This Scott Two is something else, and he's none too pleased with the way that Scott Alvin's life-or, rather, their life-has gone. Existential ennui has replaced the orgy of their youth far too soon. From skateboarding girl-swooning partier to their current state as stagnant, complacent, baked-out pornography tech gurus, the new Scott Two has plans to change. The problem for Scott Alvin is that Scott Two has the freedom to do everything they never did. To make radical changes in all aspects. To use Scott's bed, his clothes, to hang out with his friends, and to go after his lover, all while using his face and not even paying the rent! One thing's clear-you can only tolerate so much of yourself before things turn nasty. This world just isn't big enough for two Scott Alvins. Scott Too by Victor Giannini, magical realism set in Brooklyn, is a novella about living with your "better" self, who just happens to use your stuff, your bed, your girlfriend, and who slowly begins to appropriate your past until you feel like you no longer truly exist. Hey, what can go wrong?
