Amazon Description:
On lost, lonely highways,
deep in the American heartlands and skirting the shady edges of cities, once
ubiquitous motels have faded, some into ruin, others transformed from way
station to permanent residence. MOTEL captures the heartbreak, desperation and indeed magic of motels.
Think Paris, Texas. Fool for Love. Wild at Heart. Even Bonnie and Clyde. This anthology is full of stories that pay homage to the essence of
motels in all their beauty and pathos. Characters and stories of grit and
glory, the brutal and banal.
As motels fade from popularity and even existence, this volume attempts to
capture them before they’re gone altogether…and all their stories with them.
Of the twenty-eight stories in MOTEL, there’s no two stories that are similar. Like a motel, these stories are
neighboring rooms. None in them are the same, but here they are, together.
