About the Book



George Singleton writes about the South as nobody else does--bringing humor and vision to his regular people getting by.



Book Synopsis



A 2013 SIBA Book Award Finalist

Eleven stories, all previously published in journals like The Atlantic, Oxford American, and The Georgia Review, in which George Singleton brings small-town South Carolina alive. Using everyday situations like a dog needing its annual vaccination and buckets of humorous observations, Singleton pokes and prods his readers into realizing we're all simply restless for a pat on the head.
