Reviews
"Legendary South Carolina absurdist Singleton weighs in with anotherrollicking collection. ... A Southern original adds to his gallery of Southernoriginals." -- Kirkus starred review "Singleton delivers an offbeat collection filled withSouthern eccentrics. ... Singleton lights up the colorful and odd situations withwit and verve. Southern fiction fans will have a blast." -- Publishers Weekly "A delightful, occasionally disturbing and unapologeticallyhonest exploration of Southern life ... There's a beautiful brokenness drivingthese characters toward their distinctive causes that's born from the mostbasic of compulsions -- the human need to belong." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Pleaseknow that it is against my nature to fling the word 'genius' around like asandlot football. I've used it maybe five times, and in all of those instancesI applied it to composers, partly because I don't understand how they do whatthey do. Being a fiction writer, I understand all too well how we do what wedo. But George Singleton is a genius, because he repeatedly manages to make melaugh, often uproariously, when my first impulse is to cry. How he accomplishesthis feat is as mysterious to me as the twelve-tone music of, say, ArnoldSchoenberg. But I know this: contemporary American literature--and I daresay thecountry itself--would be more vibrant if we had more writers like him. GeorgeSingleton is something perhaps even rarer than a genius. He's a treasure."--Steve Yarbrough, author of Stay Gone Days, "Legendary South Carolina absurdist Singleton weighs in with anotherrollicking collection. ...

Synopsis
Well-established Southern author with twelve previously published books, countless short stories in recognizable venues, and strong network of connections to other regional author Funny, messy stories about the men of the South muddling through jobs, families, and fundraising Previous honors include the Fellowship of Southern Writers, a Guggenheim Fellow in 2009, the Corrington Award for Literary Excellence, and more Publicity support from Dawn Major, freelance publicist with strong Southern concentration. She works with the Southern Review of Books and has assisted Dzanc with coverage for William Gay's titles before. Outreach to venues that have covered George's work before, including New York Times Book Review, Garden and Gun, Oxford American, Nashville Scene, Chapter 16 in Nashville, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Southern Review of Books Outreach and ARC mailing to George's local and regional indies: Hub City Book Shop, M. Judson Books, Lemuria, Square Books, Park Road Books, City Lights, Quail Ridge Books, Flyleaf Books, Fountain Book Store, and A Cappella Mass galley mailing Emphasis on course adoption and award submission E-ARCs available on Edelweiss Co-op budget available, 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. A boy navigates his parents' split between a stretched phone cord and a flooded septic tank. A drunk sequestered in the middle of nowhere wakes up to find a tractor parked in his driveway. 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. 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. 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.
