'Morrison’s range of voice is stunning-from the deep drumbeat of true grit to the high-pitched timbre of irretrievable loss. Here is a landscape of the human condition, fully realized. Often harsh, often heartbreakingly poignant, Morrison’s characters grasp for the small truths in their lives, some coming up empty-handed, others given that one shot at redemption. A magnificent, kaleidoscopic view of the extraordinary nature of ordinary lives, rendered in lucid, pitch-perfect prose.' (Lorian Hemingway, author of Walk on Water) 'With a flinty glare and a fine ear for language, these stories give us the ’wahoo!’ great fiction always provides, and never lets up. Morrison’s subjects range from dogs to divorce and even to a uterus in a jar. These are stories you won’t soon forget.'(Rusty Barnes, author of Mostly Redneck and co-founder of Night Train)
