Works

In bite-size yarns that combine humor, pathos and razor-sharp reverie, McBrearty stirs and startles and makes the reader shake with laughter.

In this hilarious, poignant, over-the-top Western, Jim O’Brien writes the quixotic saga of his ancestors who grew up with a tribe of Comanches.

No matter what the situation, empathy is front and center in this thoughtful collection, which includes McBrearty’s Pushcart Prize-winning story.

Wild, funny, touching and full of crackling dialogue, McBrearty’s exaggerated reality makes life seem much more hilarious and heartbreakingly real.
