"Paul Griner's Hurry Please I Want to Know takes the reader on a sweeping tour of America - from Iraqi soldiers to prison telemarketers, from famous cartoonists to bone procurers, from missing persons to the resurrected dead - the real, the surreal, and everything in-between. Griner seems to know everybody's secrets, and this astonishing collection sets out to reveal them." - Dan Chaon, author of Await Your Reply and Stay Awake"Paul Griner finds surprising and inventive ways to write about a wide range of sometimes uncomfortable - but always interesting - situations. The writing is careful, precise, shocking - stylistically brilliant. The stories are sometimes surreal, but convincing all the same. They take your breath away!" - Bobbie Ann Mason, author of The Girl in the Blue Beret and In CountryA stylized and otherworldly short story collection filled with sidelined characters placed at center stage.
