Russ Meyer’s neo noir black comedy AFTER THE FEDORA has been published by Xlibris Publishing. The writing of the story began with a twist on a famous saying. ’It’s not over ‘til the fat lady sings’. When the fat lady (opera singer) sings the National Anthem for the opening day of minor-league baseball, it is the beginning of the season and the story. The story, as THE FAT LADY SINGS, won two screenplay contests, became a novel, and now the sequel AFTER THE FEDORA is available on Amazon. The sequel continues where the first story left off, with street musician Zutty having Byroan’s fedora. Byroan is further convinced by a stranglehold from Zutty’s mother that he needs to find the missing musician and get back his fedora.
