Reviews
Jay's stories are as raw, as wacky, and as real as it gets. They are also the funniest stories I've heard in my life. Jay tells them with a seamless blend of pitch-perfect Southern dialect and a literary sensibility.
Stories this artful and heartfelt could only have been produced by an amazing guy; an intelligent, sensitive, manly-man! Jay's a bonafide genius.
