"The millions of unseen things that happen inside the heart finally start to come clear in Ben Tanzer's The New York Stories.
Everyone here -- from the teenage girls to the grown men trying to
sleep with them, from the guy in therapy to the therapist -- is filled
with a desire so painful it will make you ache. Come to Thirsty's and
drink a Yuengling because it might be all there is. Ben Tanzer knows
that what we love most is what destroys us and what makes us feel most
alive. He's reached into our music collections and pulled out the soul
and the funk and the loud guitars and set it to prose that pulls us all
across the page. Be prepared to laugh and cry and be swept away." --Dave
Newman, author of The Factory Poems
And more to come. Not to mention more information at CCLaP for those who want it.
