MEET THE AUTHORS:

TYLER C. GORE is the author of MY LIFE OF CRIME: ESSAYS AND OTHER ENTERTAINMENTS (Sagging Meniscus Press, 2022), his debut collection of personal essays. He has been cited five times as a Notable Essayist by The Best American Essays. His essays, stories, and reviews have appeared in many of the fine, high-quality journals preferred by discerning readers like you. He lives as he dreams — in Brooklyn. More at tylergore.com.

"Tyler C. Gore [is] our nation’s preeminent literary digresser... Life may be serious, but Gore is exceedingly funny, and the combination is well worth a detour through his self-styled 'criminal' mind." — Jacob M. Appel, HEAVY FEATHER REVIEW

-----------------------------

DAVID WINNER'S third novel ENEMY COMBATANT (March 2021) received a Kirkus-starred review and was a Publisher's Weekly/Booklife Editor's Pick. He is the co-editor of Writing the Virus, a New York Times-noted Anthology. His Kirkus-recommended second novel, TYLER'S LAST, was nominated for a Pushcart while his first, THE CANNIBAL OF GUADALAJARA, won the 2009 Gival Press Novel Award and was nominated for the National Book Award. His work has appeared in The Village Voice, Fiction, The Iowa Review, The Millions, The Kenyon Review and (in German) Manuskripte. He is a senior editor at StatOrec magazine, the fiction editor of The American, a magazine based in Rome, and a regular contributor to The Brooklyn Rail.

"In his third novel, Winner constructs a train-wreck scenario that readers can’t look away from... A searingly insightful, tragicomic adventure that lays bare personal and political fault lines." — KIRKUS (STARRED REVIEW)

----------------------------

ALICE KALTMAN is the author of ALMOST DEADLY / ALMOST GOOD (Word West Press, 2022). Past publications include the story collection STAGGERWING, the novels WAVEHOUSE, THE TANTALIZING TALE OF GRACE MINNAUGH, and DAWG TOWNE. Alice’s stories appear in journals like Lost Balloon, The Pinch, Joyland, Hobart and BULL, and in numerous anthologies. She’s not thrilled by the sound of her own voice, but you might like it. If so, you can hear her read her work at Micro Podcasts, Elevator Stories, and No Contact. Alice splits her time between Brooklyn and Montauk, NY where she lives, surfs, and swims with her husband the sculptor Daniel Wiener and Ollie the Wonder Dog.

"These stories dazzle with Kaltman's wit and rich, complex characters who you'll want to hug and scream at in equal turns, because they remind us of the best and worst parts of ourselves...” — Chris Gonzales, author of I'm Not Hungry But I Could Eat
