Work Shirts for Madmen by George Singleton
PRAISE FOR WORK SHIRTS FOR MADMENSmackover funny and rare, many of Singleton's laughs come from deep wit and not easy southern eccentricities and the rough-screeching Skoal crowd.--Barry Hannah, author of Yonder Stands Your Orphan
George Singleton writes like a irreverent genius with his finger on the pulse of an American culture gone as absurd as the price you recently paid a dermatologist. But if you happen to be a physician, or therapist, better skip this one . . . or if you wear one of those little American flags in your lapel, better skip this one, et cetera. But if you want a short-time, sentence-by-sentence, explosive pleasure, or a long-time pleasure brought by a story with a beating pulse that you can live inside of for awhile, and remember forever, then take this on over to the cash register.--Clyde Edgerton, author of Lunch at the Piccadilly
PRAISE FOR GEORGE SINGLETON
George Singleton writes about the rural South without sentimentality or stereotype but with plenty of sharp-witted humor. A raconteur of trends, counter-trends, obsessions and odd characters. --Morning Edition, NPR
Singleton is an ace at locating the pathos beneath the deadpan laughs.--USA Today
