by Keith Banner

O. Henry Prize-winning author Keith Banner's new collection of short fiction recounts the troubled lives of ne'er-do-wells and outsiders. Few writers capture the quintessence of awkward domesticity and growing up queer like Banner. The banality of life, whether it be trapped in front of the television or popping pills for E.D., is exposed and mocked with aplomb in these tales.

''Keith Banner's new collection stands next to nothing, but all by itself, distinguished by a hard-won realism of the modern working class, amid the abandoned malls and the barely surviving towns of the rustbelt. This is Raymond Carver reinvented, filtered through a dark and richly queer perspective.'' --Christopher Barzak, author of One for Sorrow

"The dark picture of the American Heartland Banner gives us, is peppered with the kind of off-color humor that, at times, causes you to stifle your amusement, put your hand to your mouth, and sincerely enjoy the giggle inside. His storytelling is contagious." - Out in Print
