A Jesus Christ look alike has trouble with his girlfriend . . . a bodybuilder does sit ups from the window of a speeding car . . . a burn victim and his freakishly beautiful love interest creatively loot homes while a forest fire approaches . . . a female cult member tries to convince a young man to let doctors harvest his recently-deceased wife's organs . . .
In a second to none engagement of the reader, James Marshall's stories bristle with fictional restlessness. This debut collection is a true literary "find" and Marshall's an exciting new voice.
