Fox Tooth Heart : Stories EPUB

';Bold and ingenious' stories about the dark heart of America by the acclaimed Whiting Awardwinning author (The New York Times Book Review).

';Feverish, psychotropic, bold, mesmerizing, painful,Fox Tooth Heartis full of stories about people living on the margins of society, characters born into dark circumstances, or ... driven there by their own obsessions and addictions' (Huffington Post)murderers, loners, addicts, neurotics and outcasts stumbling side-by-side with ';the down-and-out heroes of George Saunders or John Updike, captured just before their fall' (Vice.com).

In this ';achingly visceral ... masterpiece' McManus ventures from trailers hidden in deep Southern woods to an Arkansas ranch converted into an elephant refuge to a Georgia tent community of sex offenders to a Kentucky band of teenage Satanists. His lost-soul men, women, and children reel precariously between common anxiety and drug-enhanced paranoia, sober reality and fearsome hallucination (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

';Powered by radiant prose' (Vanity Fair), these nine ';eccentric ... wildly inventive' (Publishers Weekly) stories of twisted humor and pathos re-establish McManus as one of the most bracing voices of our time.
