Against the Hidden River

Fiction. The stories in AGAINST THE HIDDEN RIVER, Michael W. Cox's debut short fiction collection, are populated by the likes of male prostitutes, burnt-out teachers, Indian-American college students and bi-racial male virgins [who] teem with hidden desires, lusts, pains hatreds and defiant resignations.--Kevin C. Stewart

These are bold stories of a tonic moral clarity, told with a vernacular verve and a confident disregard for passing literary fashions.--Gary Lutz

These are great stories.--Cathy Day
