Celebrated Southern author George Singleton delivers a new collection of short fiction, brilliant and absurd, for fans of George Saunders and Tom Franklin A restaurant owner runs into trouble when his wife starts a well-intentioned, poorly named rooster rescue.
With Singleton\'s signature comic flair, these stories peer through the peepholes of small-town South Carolina into the Lives of everyday martyrs--prodigal sons, wayward fathers, and all those who are a little of each..
Loosely linked by characters and themes, The Curious Lives of Nonprofit Martyrs follows shysters and schemers, film buffs and future ornithologists, unlikely do-gooders, and the men who make up Veterans Against Guns in North America, all doing the best they can with what they possess in smarts and cunning.
And in a big Cadillac, a grandfather and a grandson and a wayward dog hit the road, searching for a life not downloadable, nor measured in bandwidth.
A drunk sequestered in the middle of nowhere wakes up to find a tractor parked in his driveway.
A boy navigates his parents\' split between a stretched phone cord and a flooded septic tank.
