Endorsed by Jack Chapeau 2 an even greater extent

Calamari Press Archive has reissued the expanded second edition of Pelton's stories, which includes the early fiction for which the author was awarded National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and doubles the size of a book called by faux-Belgian belletrist Chapeau, "required reading in the future."

​

"Pelton's short fictions problematize the reality of postwar America by asking us to think beyond what we've come to know as numb spectators of the electric box and bored participants in the theater of our own absurd lives "

     - Review of Contemporary Fiction

​

"This masterful kaleidoscopic hall of mirrors is a vivid tableau of our multiple life's other side. Lucky you've got Ted Pelton minding the store. Endorsed by Jack Chapeau... and me!"

     - Robert Creeley, Bollingen Prize winning poet

​

"Pelton's voice asserts itself with power and grace, and the stories take forms that take off."

     - Rain Taxi Review of Books
