Clarence Major recommends
Fat Time and Other Stories (2023)
Jeffery Renard Allen
"Jeffery Renard Allen's writing in Fat Time and Other Stories is intense, subtle, and astute, rendered with folk wisdom and magical realism. Although his characters face defeat and folly, they not only endure, they often prevail. Allen has never forgotten the importance of 'the human heart in conflict with itself' (Faulkner). His themes of destruction and renewal, love and desire, despair and hardship, estrangement and war, and the weight of time itself, are always universal. This is a powerful collection."
Locke 1928 (2007)
Shawna Yang Ryan
"Shawna Yang Ryan is a gifted writer who has a great feeling for the language and its natural lyrical possibilities. She is a writer who deserves to be taken seriously."
