DOUG DORST |
A longtime Californian who now calls Austin home, Doug Dorst visited with his smart, eye-opening debut novel, Alive in Necropolis, and now makes this welcome return for his first book of stories, The Surf Guru (Riverhead). "The Surf Guru is one of the best collections I've read in years. Formally innovative, full of humor and terror and compassion in equal measure, these stories renewed my faith in the short story as an art form. Dorst's work is utterly unique and visionary." - Dan Chaon. "The stories in The Surf Guru are unusual not just for the frequent genius of their conceits, but for the tremendous sympathy they demonstrate toward characters who struggle with love, loneliness, and disappointment. Doug Dorst writes with a big, unbridled imagination and a big, commiserating heart, and the results, by turns devastating and hilarious, are always deeply moving." - Chris Adrian.
