Dzanc Books $15.95 pb fiction/short stories 9781938103544
Eleven stories, all previously published in journals like
Atlantic Monthly, Oxford American, and The Georgia Review,
in which George Singleton brings small-town South Carolina alive. Using
everyday situations like a dog needing its annual vaccination, and buckets of
humorous observations, Singleton pokes and prods his readers into realizing
we're all simply restless for a pat on the head.
