Bøger af Bob Thurber

Scantic Books is proud to present a new collection of powerful, gritty short stories by award-winning author Bob Thurber. "Bob Thurber is lightning in a bottle. His writing reaches in and grabs your heart and squeezes it tight. Bob's work is visual and emotional and beautiful in its poignancy. He's a master of sparse, surgical prose. Wise well beyond his years, one wonders at his human insight. I would read his grocery lists." - Vincent Carrella, author of The Serpent Box

For those conditioned to divide their fiction into categories, TTM2 has true crime, fantasy, dramedy, sci-fi, spec-lit, Brit-lit, chick-lit, not to mention lit-lit, as well as the exciting new genre of robot book review. But tqr is not about marketing ploys designed to sell you some contrived concept of hyphenated lit. Its only aim has ever been to publish anything that stirs the wild thing deep inside you. In tqr-speak, it's summed up in the question, "But does it touch the monkey?' Well...slap my ass and call me Sally!, not only does TTM2 touch it, it agitates the poor beast to the point of its confronting you with a smoldering gaze that seems to say, 'Oh how I wish I could bust out of this cage and rip your bloody lungs out!' The only thing you have to wonder is, 'How strong are those iron bars?'

This uncompromising collection of stories comes from the widely acclaimed and award winning master of the short story, Bob Thurber. Here he weaves his tales around such facets of the human condition as Fathers and Fools, Women and Children, Marriage and Divorce, and Art and Artifice. Typically unsettling and revelatory, Thurber knows how to cast a story that depicts the coarse reality of life, and his skills are displayed here with both passion and sentiment. Thurber gives the reader a chance, not to peek, but to plunge head first into the deep, dark mystery of simple existence. Accompanied by photographs by the equally intrepid wordsmith and image maker Vincent Louis Carrella.
