"Deliciously strange and compelling, delightfully lurid and fun, Scot Sothern's debut novel reads like a feral mashup of Cormac McCarthy and William Gibson amped on cornjuice and spiderbite." –Mark Haskell Smith
“In
the latest work of art-prose from the incomparable Stalking Horse Press, Scot
Sothern shows that he's not just a linguistic power-hitter, but a dynamic
storyteller, too. There’s enough imagination on every page of BigCity for
an entire novel.” D. Harlan Wilson,
author of Battles without Honor or Humanity and Peckinpah: An
Ultraviolent Romance
“The
job of the novelist is to conjure a whole world, and Scot Sothern has done that
in spades here. Lush, large-hearted, antic, and fiercely feminist, BigCity is
unlike anything else I've ever read.” Ron Currie, author of Every Thing Matters, The One-Eyed Man
"An
explosion of language and characters, a fast-and-loose yet potent and authentic
way with our American history, rude and gross and gorgeous and hilarious and
heart-rending -- "Big City" is everything you want in a novel, bold
and challenging and surprising. I love it!” - Julie Powell, author of Julie
& Julia.
