"Best Worst American" by Juan Martinez

Juan Martinez has a book of short stories out!

I would love this book even if I wasn't married to the author. The stories are darkly funny and beautifully imagined. But, don't take my word for it. Here's a glowing review from the less biased experts at Tor: "... you will emerge changed by his imagination, ready to see the world in a different light."

Buy a copy from Small Beer Press or through your local independent bookstore, such as Women and Children First in Chicago.
