About this product
Product Information
Paddling down a remote, meandering river, Georgie's friend Otto decides to do something both spectacular and stupid. As his friends look on, they watch something awful unfold: Otto jumps into the river from the edge of a sandy cliff and lands with an odd smack, knocking himself unconscious, blood spilling from his nose and mouth. Georgie arrives on the scene first and sees a small turtle, its shell cracked, floating just below the water's surface. Otto and the turtle survive the collision, though both need help, and Georgie finds his compassions torn. This title story sets the tone for the rest of Arthur Bradford's Turtleface and Beyond, a strangely funny collection featuring prosthetically limbed lovers, a snakebitten hitchhiker turned wedding crasher, a lawyer at the end of his rope, and a whole host of near disasters, narrow escapes, and complicated victories. The one thing they have in common is Georgie, who struggles with his poor decisions but finds redemption in the telling of each of his tales.* "Bradford will appeal to David Sedaris fans willing to visit the wrong side of the tracks" (Booklist).

Reviews
" Turtleface and Beyond is filled with glorious little fables that are both yummy and nourishing." --Matt Stone, co-creator of South Park and The Book of Mormon "Arthur Bradford has the strange, poetic humor of a real writer, but his outlandish plots involving animals and/or underachievers read like pulpy page-turners. While reading Turtleface and Beyond , I couldn't wait to find out what happened to these injured turtles and oversexed beach bums." --Sarah Vowell "Arthur Bradford's stories are told plainly yet seductively. You might call them funny and lovely and laconic until you get to the twist and damage that swims beneath them like an unseen snapping turtle. They take straight roads to crooked places and I would read them all day until I was done and you should too." --John Hodgman "Writer and filmmaker Bradford will appeal to David Sedaris fans willing to visit the wrong side of the tracks . . . With bad choices and bizarre situations aplenty, Turtleface and Beyond encourages the reader simply to laugh at the strange turns life can take." -- Booklist "Arthur Bradford's work is uncategorizable and unprecedented... His stories are hilarious and strange, playful and deadpan, and often involve animals and strange injuries to these animals or their human friends. The world of Bradford's fiction is populated by dreamers, doofuses, banalities, and mysteries, and somehow it's a world you don't want to leave." -- Dave Eggers, "Beautifully bent, generous, and funny."- Vanity Fair "I was reminded of Tom Perotta's Bad Haircut and Junot Díaz's Yunior stories in Drown and This Is How You Lose Her... .[stories that] read easy, almost like reportage, and their authenticity is built into the voice, the rhythm and flow of the prose."- The Millions
