Query: Exciting Short Story Collection

James Marshall's stories are both original and familiar. It's like getting someone else to hang out with people you're curious about, only to find we are all so similar. I might not follow forest fires, hang out in strip bars, or have a friend who looks just like Jesus, but after reading this book, I understand a world where I might. These stories are brilliant and funny, filled with a strange, lonely, and aggressive hope. I can't wait to see what this author is going to write next.
