Advance Praise from Tom Spanbauer for Margaret Malone's People Like You

Coming November 2015 from Atelier26

"There are moments in Margaret Malone’s collection People Like You when it’s hard to breathe.  Because People Like You are people a lot like you, disturbingly so: awkward, petty, flawed, full of hope and monotony, yearning.  Malone is a master of the minimal. ... Whether it’s a dying mother at a slot machine, a drinking pregnant mother stalking sex offenders, or a husband who’s having his prostate checked—every story is flawlessly told, the reader brought to the knees again and again by luxurious moments of intimacy and estrangement. ... And did I mention hilarious?  Don’t let these wonderful stories pass you up.  Margaret Malone is a name that will soon be up there with the best and brightest." —TOM SPANBAUER, author of I Loved You More and recipient of the Stewart Holbrook Literary Legacy Award
