“Robert Garner McBrearty is as thought-provoking as he is entertaining. His characters know what it’s like to live with worries and regrets and hope that somehow everything will come out right in the end. Readers will know they already live in McBrearty’s world.”
— Barry Kitterman, author of From the San Joaquin: Stories
“Robert Garner McBrearty’s The Problem You Have is a stunning collection of short stories that go straight to the heart. The characters are unforgettable, the prose rich and powerful.”
— Jack Smith, author of If Winter Comes: A Novel
“Robert McBrearty’s stories occupy a fascinating world where the daft becomes heartfelt, the dangerous becomes ordinary, and the ordinary becomes downright odd. A world, in other words, seen through a pane of absurdist old glass.”
— David Wroblewski, author of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
