"Greg Sanders has hit the bullseye with Motel Girl. The stories—original, often surreal, yet thoroughly convincing—are tone-perfect, exuding a marvelous, full-bodied authority. An astonishingly fine debut."
—Janet Fitch, author of Paint It Black
"Greg Sanders's stories are ingenious and original—but more important, he's a fabulist with a heart."
—David Gates, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Wonders of the Invisible World, Jernigan and Preston Falls
"Realistic absurdity ties together the short stories of Sanders's intelligent and funny collection....Skillfully narrated and concisely written, this collection of short stories is at once comical, cringe-worthy, relevant and weird."
—Publishers Weekly
"There is a kind of violence in every story, different kinds; and it is always surprising how the physical violence is the least disturbing kind."
—The Los Angeles Times |
