The Little Boy Inside and Other Stories

Glenn Gray

What men do to their bodies and what their bodies do to them. That's the subject of this visceral debut story collection from Glenn Gray, who brings his singular voice to an unholy genre all his own. In these seventeen remarkable stories, bodies harbor secrets, slough off the past, and morph in grotesque, absurd ways. Doctors are required to do no harm, but not writers like Glenn Gray. His characters -- doctors and patients, body builders and drug dealers -- take up permanent residence in our imaginations, leaving us amazed, damaged, and transformed forever."Glenn Gray is an amazing talent. These fantastic studies of human vulnerabilities will rock you. I read them with a mixture of pleasure, anxiety, and perplexed despair -- exactly what the short story, at its best, should deliver."-- Rick DeMarinis"Glenn Gray is the finest MD to practice American literature since William Carlos Williams. His disdain for the boundaries of genre make this collection a vastly entertaining treat for lovers of all sorts of literary transgression."-- Scott Phillips
