zlib_text: Praise for Troy James Weaver & Selected Stories
  “There’s just something weirdly perfect about Troy James Weaver’s stories.
  Perfect because they are, down to their syllables. Weird because what they
  do feels so broken it hurts. It’s a kind of double whammy effect, part awe,
  part ache, that’s truly singular as far as I know.”
  —Dennis Cooper, author of The Marbled Swarm
  “I don’t like telling people what to do and I don’t like being told what to do.
  But right now I’m telling you to read the stories of Troy James Weaver.
  From the beginning, Weaver’s been unafraid to show us humanity in all its
  grotesque, stupid, and beautiful glory. His stories are for the young and for
  the old, for the strong and the weak, for the sick and the dying and the dead.
  Luckily, if you’re reading this, you’re alive and you’re holding this book in
  your hands. Read these stories and learn a little bit about what it means to
  be alive.”
  —Joseph Grantham, author of Raking Leaves
