Doublewide Collected Fiction of Michael Martone - Quarry Books
Author: Michael Martone
In this one volume, readers have access to the two decades of Hoosier mythology created by Michael Martone, one of Indiana's most recognized voices. This book collects work from Martone's first five books: Alive and Dead in Indiana, Safety Patrol, Fort Wayne Is Seventh on Hitler's List (IUP, 1990, 1992), Pensées: The ...  more » and Seeing Eye. Virtually all of the stories in this "double-wide" collection speak to the Hoosier experience and imagination. Places like Martone's hometown of Fort Wayne, as well as Peru, Elkhart, and Indianapolis, and narrators such as Colonel Sanders, Alfred Kinsey, and James Dean's high school English teacher all come to life with the author's trademark blend of irreverent humor and incisive reality. From The Indianapolis Star

Martone...writes in a clean, concise style--no superfluous purple prose in sight--yet his words extract meaning and wit from minutiae other authors gloss over...Martone's Indiana is both wholly familiar and mysterious. He seamlessly blends fact with fiction as he acquaints readers with gangsters, educators, farmers, students, Alfred Kinsey, even Colonel Sanders, and discovers the unearthed depths of Indiana...all of the tales in the book are worth lingering over. "Double-Wide" is a must not only for Hoosier readers, but also anyone interested in exploring Indiana's cultural landscape. -- Becky Armoto, July 15, 2007
