Naked Pueblo

"Mark Jude Poirier is one of the most kinetic, most original young fiction writers we've read in a long time. Naked Pueblo, his absolutely maximalist, throw-everything-in-and-shake-it-up short story collection, buzzes like some kind of whacked-out fever dream." -- Esquire "Poirier's stories are the product of one of the more original & engaging voices to come along in a while. His deadpan delight in the idiosyncrasies of American trash culture ... is often hilarious. But what distinguishes Naked Pueblo is its resistance to condescension & easy irony." -- San Francisco Chronicle "I don't like Americans & I ESPECIALLY don't like American short stories...but Mark Poirier's Naked Pueblo I found shatteringly brilliant."--Julie Burchill "Poirier sketches a landscape of characters ultimately as loveable as they are revolting, as believable as they are bizarre." --The Washington Post.
