One Kind Favor by Kevin McIlvoy
“An unorthodox but compelling cry against racist violence.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The author conjures a slew of colorful characters and probes below the surface … with an eye for the spiritual and magical.”
—Publishers Weekly
“One Kind Favor is a wildly original and deliciously subversive novel, told with profound intelligence and free-wheeling wit.”
—Southern Humanities Review
The Groundhog Forever by Henry Hoke
“A wild narrative ride: inquiring, intriguing, idiosyncratic, and entertaining.”
—Foreword Reviews
“The Groundhog Forever is that tricky kind of trick: the kind that says it’s just a little fun thing, but then opens up the entire world’s guts and out comes LIFE.”
—Johanna Hedva
“In playful, exhilarating prose, Hoke pushes sentential limits, wryly examining the way art marks the world (and the many ways in which it fails to do so).”
—Kimberly King Parsons
