Reviews
Steve Hughes's characters in Stiff are a handful--love-struck, addled, smart-ass, and wildly innocent. A Detroit romance, this collection of fiction is outrageous with lives run amok, taking high-risk turns, and rejuvenating themselves. Disaster is every day, often small-time, with that familiar taste--sour and sweet--then a blast of chicken fat and heat. Hughes's stories offer up 'a necessary apology to the world' for daily, heartfelt damage done., A zany collection that explores alcoholism, modern Detroit, and characters who yearn for 'the tender warmth of female companionship.', Hughes' lively collection is a whimsical exploration of the human need to find a sense of home and belonging., Being an artist can be surreal, and it's fitting that Hughes applies his own signature flavor of magical realism to properly portray that. I don't want to give much away beyond saying that you'll find a weird familiarity in even the most fantastic moments of these (often Detroit-set) stories., Combining magical surrealism with downright grittiness, Steve Hughes's astounding Stiff reads as if Franz Kafka and Denis Johnson hooked up in one of the meaner sections of Detroit and spent the next year together in an abandoned pizza parlor writing short stories. Yes, it is that damn good., Stiff is a compendium of love stories for a broken city. Much as Detroit longs to reestablish itself as the heartbeat of southeastern Michigan, the men in these stories seek a place for themselves by reaching often for something otherworldly but almost always somehow unattainable. While there may be a layer of filth and decadence on the surface of their characters, they are complex in their hope for what might be.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
