All Over

by Roy Kesey

All Over Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"A restlessly inventive collection, as the best story collections so often are-comic and tender, ironic and earnest, deadpan and passionate. A distinctive new voice, from a distinctive new press."-Peter Ho Davies, author of The Welsh Girl

Includes "Wait,"a Best American Short Stories 2007 inclusion.

Review:

"Roy Kesey tempers his prodigious imagination with fine syntactic control, so that his stories - like Donald Barthelme's - feel simultaneously free-wheeling and precise. All Over is an exhilarating collection — funny, harrowing, smart, odd, and inventive." — Chris Bacheldor

Synopsis:

An heir to Donald Barthelme, Kesey's stories are energetic, wild, and still have a heart.
