Labor Days, Labor Nights: More Stories
商品資訊
商品簡介
Imagine entering a barbershop with twenty-two heads in front of you. Imagine those heads delivering a series of tales so spellbinding you cease to care whether they are borrowed, remembered, or invented. Imagine yourself so lost in the world limned by those tales the barber must pry you from the chair when your turn is up. Such was my experience of the twenty-two tales in Larry Thacker's Labor Days, Labor Nights. Thacker's inventive yarns veer from the charming to the profound and pinball between madcap hijinks and haunting sadness. At every turn, they confound expectation in a way quite likely to delight. Come on into Thacker's shop. The line moves fast.
-Robert Gipe, author of Pop
Labor Days, Labor Nights is a big-hearted carnival jammed with all the belly laughs and heart-twisting poignancy we've come to expect from Larry Thacker. It's all here, folks: roller-derby angels, pygmy goats, shrunken heads, lightning-rod preachers, catfish wranglers, grieving altar-builders. Studded with unforgettable characters, Labor County is as fully realized a place as Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha. Grab your ticket and go!
-Marie Manilla, author of The Patron Saint of Ugly
Larry Thacker's new collection of 22 short stories, Labor Days, Labor sNights, with recurring characters has its share of quirky and amusing figures. The language is colloquial and relaxed for easy reading. The characters are working class people dealing with the sometimes-zany business of their lives. It is a story collection hard to put down. Some stories remind of a latter-day Eudora Welty, others have a hint of James Thurber. A good collection to add to anyone's fiction library.
-Ron Houchin, author of Talking to Shadows
