PRAISE FOR FLUSHBOY
"Stephen Graham Jones takes that old question, 'What's the worst job you've ever had?' and makes it worse yet. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, you'll never piss again without thinking of this book. It's brilliant"--Monica Drake, author of Clown Girl and The Stud Book
"Flushboy is to coming-of-age novels as toilet paper is to wiping: both are essential. Stephen Graham Jones proves in efficient, beautiful detail that no matter what the setting, a boy accepting his parents' humanity can be earth-shattering. If that doesn't entice you, then I offer one word: Chickenstein." --Lindsay Hunter, author of Daddy's and Don't Kiss Me
"Only a writer of Stephen Graham Jones' serious talent could take a scenario that could be a George Saunders outtake--teenage boy works at his urine-obsessed father's drive-through bathroom facility--and turn it into this touching, funny, uplifting coming of age story." --Dave Housley, author of Commercial Fiction and Ryan Seacrest is Famous
