Wow!

Matt Bell lays out nearly every reason we loved Roy Kesey's manuscript when it arrived:

"Roy Kesey's All Over is stunningly overdue, considering that Kesey has been published in nearly every great literary magazine known to man, and has just this year been selected for the Best American Short Stories series for the first time.  Thanks to Dzanc Books (an innovative literary startup by EWN-founder Dan Wickett and writer Steve Gillis), the wait is finally over, and readers of literary magazines finally have a single collection that shows what we've all known for years: Roy Kesey is a fiction powerhouse, a writer whose talents cross great divides of subject matter, style, and tone.  All Over puts aside Kesey's most traditional stories in favor of his more experimental ones, a choice which further accentuates how far Kesey is advancing the art of fiction when he's at his very best.  Thankfully, even at his most experimental, he never loses focus of his characters or their lives, giving every story a beating heart for the reader to relate to."
