Night Game
Greg Jenkins
NIGHT GAME is author and professor Greg Jenkins' first book of short stories-and it is well worth the wait. Long on sentiment and quality and short on overwrought sentimentality, NIGHT GAME will stay with you for a long time.
Review: "In his first collection of stories, Greg Jenkins gleefully explores a netherworld of oddities. Among his subjects are twisted versions of some of the more familiar clichés of sports-obsessed American manhood, a Latin American dictator whose officials must pass a vocal audition to survive and a bizarre 'rat-fishing' tournament. Along the way, he comes up with a vivid set of major characters...and an even more memorable group of antagonists."
- The New York Times
"These tales create loopy, tragicomic worlds in which the voices of the workaday protagonists give heft and urgency to gritty conflicts."
- Publishers Weekly
Bio: Greg Jenkins received his Ph.D. from Penn State University, has had five plays produced, twenty-five short stories published, and has written a critical study of Stanley Kubrick. Mr. Jenkins was born in Maryland, where he now lives with his wife and daughter.
