“Bryan Fierro writes with startling insight and a gifted comic’s instincts about love, family ties, desire, masculinity, poverty, and privilege. His voice is affecting and sincere, alternately elegiac and contemplative, edgy and ironic. These are powerful, memorable stories from a writer who I am certain has many more books to offer us.”—Christine Sneed, author The Virginity of Famous Men
“Bryan Fierro’s stories are breathtaking and essential. Dodger Blue Will Fill Your Soul is a two-outs, bottom-of-the-ninth Kirk Gibson home run.”—Brando Skyhorse, author of The Madonnas of Echo Park
