The Song Between Her Legs

By Lance Manion

His work has been called demented, hilarious, quirky and well outside the mainstream and with his sixth collection of short stories Manion unapologetically stays with that formula. Big sloshing mixes of poignancy and offensiveness, hope and callousness.
He understands that we are all kind and bigoted. Wonderful and pathetic. The human experience is wildly erratic.
And he won't pretend otherwise.
