The New York Stories is awesome blurb from the endlessly awesome Leesa Cross-Smith.

"Ben Tanzer's stories are both familiar and surprising, a scarf and a knife. Stories full of people we know, love. People we don't want to know, don't want to love. Stories full of desire and sadness and almost. Stories over beers and tequila, stories inside sex and storms. Ben! He is one of my favorites for all sorts of reasons and one of those reasons is yes and another is hell yes." --Leesa Cross-Smith, author of Every Kiss A War

And more to come. Not to mention more information at CCLaP for those who want it.

This.

That time we read from The New York Stories at the Big Venerable release party and we were unshaven and wore the shirt our mom bought us because she rocks and we're good like that.

Back to reading @BenTanzer's THE NEW YORK STORIES and the second collection is painful. So much (potential) infidelity in those pages.
