Description

Thirty stories, collected in one volume for the very first time, from one ofthe Southsbest known and most acclaimedshort story writers.With his signature darkly acerbic and sharpwitted humor, George Singleton has built a reputation as one of the most astute and wise observers of the South. Now Tom Franklin introduces this master of the form with a compilation of acclaimed and prizewinning short fiction spanning twenty years and eight collections, including stories originally published in outlets like the Atlantic Monthly, Harpers, Playboy, the Georgia Review, the Southern Review, and many more. A lovelorn and chatty euthanasia vet arrives at a couples house to put down their dog, Probate a fathertobe searches his workplacea barfor a replacement sonogram after recording an episode of Bonanza over the original an unlikely romance sparks between a librarian and a professional bowler while they compete to win an RV a father takes his son to visit the many exgirlfriends that could have been his mother.These stories bear the influence of Flannery OConnor and Raymond Carver, at other times Lewis Nordan and Donald Barthelme, and touch on the mysteries of childhood, the complexities of human relationships, and the absurdity of everyday life, its inexorable defeats and small triumphs. Assembled here for the very first time, You Want More showcases the body of work, hilarious and incisive, that has cemented George Singletons place among the Souths greatest living writers.
