Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Praise for WHY DOGS CHASE CARS "Singleton's hilarious insights come early and often."--The New York Times Book Review "Singleton's style lies outside the usual briar patch. It's a cross between, say, Ralph Ellison and Molly Ivins . . . Singleton isn't just a killer at the hilarious one-liner, he can keep riffing on something good paragraph after paragraph, page after page."--The Atlanta Journal Constitution Praise for THE HALF-MAMMALS OF DIXIE "Singleton's relentlessly offbeat stories are a miasma of flea markets, palm readers, bowling alleys, and alligators, offering a disturbingly askew--at times, downright surreal--vision of the South."--Entertainment Weekly "George Singleton is a madman. He's also one of the most talented American writers the South has turned out in decades."--The Post and Courier (Charleston, SC) "Absolutely hilarious. It reads like a combination of the wry humor of Eudora Welty, the bizarre creations of Flannery O'Connor, and the crazy denizens of Edward Swift's Splendora."--Richmond Times-Dispatch Praise for THESE PEOPLE ARE US "George Singleton has the singular voice of a down-home schizophrenic. His stories are crazy mad fun."--Playboy "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 Review:PRAISE FOR NOVEL "What Singleton does best in Novel is fabricate characters from the raw material of his native South. Stereotypes of uneducated, slow-talking, slow-moving Southerners are exploited, then mashed like ripe melon on hot pavement."--The Seattle Times "Thank God for George Singleton, who makes us laugh and makes us think."--The Times-Picayune (New Orleans) Synopsis:Praise for WHY DOGS CHASE CARS "Singleton's hilarious insights come early and often."--The New York Times Book Review "Singleton's style lies outside the usual briar patch.
