George Singleton

His new novel, Work Shirts for Madmen, is now avaible. You can read about it and Singleton here. I've been following Singleton's stories since he began popping up in the New Stories from the South anthology--they're funnier 'n hell local color pieces about odd characters in small South Carolina towns (Forty-Five, Gig, Gruel), and there's a generosity in them that can be downright heartbreaking. I guess his second collection, The Half Mammals of Dixie, is his breakout book, and at readings he always swore up and down he would never write a novel. Now he's published two.
