Fiction
Talking God's Radio Show, a new novel, by John High
“Soaked in night visions and pierced through by jagged memory, Talking God's Radio Show tells that peculiarly American story in which, as Faulkner once said, ‘The past isn't forgotten, it isn't even the past.’ John High's Virginia backwaters call to mind the feral, hallucinogenic American landscapes of Cormac McCarthy's Child of God, as well as Faulkner's Sanctuary…” --Albert Mobilio
The Desire Notebooks
"[The Desire Notebooks is a] beautiful book; luminous, mysterious, hypnotic."
--Carole Maso
