Motel Girl: Stories
"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 and White Oleander
"Greg Sanders's stories are ingenious and original—but more important, he's a fabulist with a heart."
— David Gates, Pulitzer finalist and author of A Hand Reached Down to Guide Me
"Realistic absurdity ties together the short stories of Sanders's intelligent and funny collection."
— 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."
— Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times
"Greg Sanders’s prose will make you wake up and smell the latté. . . Whether dramatic or meditative, these stories are deft, enigmatic lyrics that pivot on an image or insight."
