Sentimental, Heartbroken Rednecks Stories from the New South

"[O]paque, flinty endings are only part of the 80's-era trick bag Bottoms pulls from: there's a three-page one-sentence story and an old workshop warhorse, a story that weaves a handful of disparate, intersecting characters into one narrative quilt. These exercises...lend an awkward, hodgepodge feel to Bottoms's book--evidence, perhaps, of a serious talent still racked by growing pains."Bottoms, Greg is the author of 'Sentimental, Heartbroken Rednecks Stories from the New South', published 2007 under ISBN 9781593761301 and ISBN 1593761309.
