Other Shane Hintons
“Disclaimer. There are no other Shane Hintons. This one is a unique original genius. He messes with us pretending to write autobiographical fiction or autofiction but he’s actually doing genetic engineering, hybridizing Kafka and Bartheleme: zany, explosive narratives that srart innocently but soon all hell breaks loose in the evangelical fecund setting of Florida. Each sentence has a surprising mot juste and a refreshment. This is Florda magic realism and after reading this the iguanas will fall off the palm trees. Wow.”
JOSIP NOVAKOVICH, Finalist for the 2013 Booker International Prize

Radio Dark
“Shane Hinton has a hold on a post-apocalyptic setting in a way that would make the author of the Book of Revelation proud. Radio Dark melds The Road with Mad Max with The Walking Dead. Welcome to the world of Memphis and Cincinnati, though not the cities. Welcome to the wondrous world of Shane Hinton.”
–GEORGE SINGLETON, author of Staff Picks
“The book’s images are as incisive as razors. It breaks open notions of human intimacy to examine their blood and bits, its gaze unflinching and its diagnosis less than promising. In the visceral and sharp novella Radio Dark, the end of the world is synonymous with the cessation of human hope.”
