Sleepers Awake

"In this sometimes comic, sometimes disquieting, always engaging story collection, Tree Riesener blends a wild narrative drive with a poet's precision with language. These stories view the sacred, the profane, and the seemingly ordinary through a wonderfully warped lens. The result is both delightful and discomforting-an impressive achievement through and through." -David Hallock Sanders, founding director of Writing Aloud, Philadelphia
