Let's Not Let a Little Thing Like the End of the World Come Between Us

James Marshall

A Jesus Christ look alike has trouble with his girlfriend... a bodybuilder does sit ups from the window of a speeding car... a burn victim and his freakishly beautiful love interest creatively loot homes while a forest fire approaches... a female cult member tries to convince a young man to let doctors harvest his recently-deceased wife's organs...

In a second to none engagement of the reader, James Marshall's stories bristle with fictional restlessness. This debut collection is a true literary find and Marshall's an exciting new voice.
