'Wells Tower's stories are written, thrillingly, in authentic American vernacular - violent, funny, bleak and beautiful. You need to read them, now' Michael Chabon
A man is thrown out of his home after his wife discovers that the sweat-smudged footprint on the inside of his windscreen doesn''t match her own. Teenage cousins, drugged by summer, meet with a reckoning in the woods. A boy runs off to the carnival after his stepfather bites him in a brawl. In the stories of Wells Tower, families fall apart and messily, hilariously try to reassemble themselves. His characters - marauding Vikings, washed-up entrepreneurs and jobbing hacks on local papers - are adrift from the mainstream, confused by contemporary masculinity, angry and aimless. Combining electric prose with compassion and dark wit, this is a major debut.
