Sarcophagus (and other situations)
R. Hunter Whitworth
Preorder ebook here.
Ebook and Paperback available December 8th!
“Somewhere between Donald Barthelme and Lewis Nordan stands R. Hunter Whitworth. If he’s not standing, he’s sitting on a very high throne. The stories in Sarcophagus might be perfect in voice, dry wit, characterization, and everything else one talks about in terms of literary fiction. If a first sentence can be considered as bait, then Whitworth’s pulling in whoppers. I love these stories.”
–George Singleton, author of The Curious Lives of Non-Profit Martyrs
“Sarcophagus takes us on a spirited romp through postmodern America—from California to Carolina, with many stops in between. It's a country full of online psycho-marketers, nursing home landscapers, senile rainmakers, cat breeders moonlighting as professional wrestlers, mother-and-daughter Internet branders, and leaders of Shakespearean corporate retreats. It's a world too funny to be entirely sad, and too sad to be entirely funny—and much too close to the truth to make us entirely comfortable. R. Hunter Whitworth is an extraordinary writer well worth your time.”
–Gilbert Allen, author of The Beasts of Belladonna
