Review:
About the Author:
"Both hilarious and honest . . . Gautreaux applies love and compassion, knowledge and ingenuity to create something superb." --The Seattle Times
"Startling and redemptive . . . These stories suggest . . . that to be alive means being open to grief and accident, chance and wonder." --The Chicago Tribune
"Move Garrison Keilor's Lake Wobegon stories to Louisiana, add heat and Tabasco, and the result would be Welding With Children." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Gautreaux has perfect pitch . . . it's his fiction's coarse incongruities--epitomized by the book's title--that prove the limitless possibilities of limited geography." --The New York Times Book Review
"Finely balanced, sweet and gritty." --The San Francisco Chronicle
"A pleasure from start to finish." --The Cleveland Plain-Dealer
Tim Gautreaux has written novels and collections of short stories, one of which, Welding With Children, was selected by The New York Times as a Notable Book of the Year.
