"There is a powerful, innate tension in his writing which comes not only from his voice but from his particular way of looking at things, an unusual way, and in art--in fiction--the only real worlds are likely to be the unusual." --James Salter "Poignant, sharp writing infused with flashes of brutal humor. Paul Cohen's THE GLAMSHACK cuts to the quandary we all endure: the burden of desire. With a voice distinct and resonating, Cohen cast a sober eye on life and longing, love and failure. He personalizes a universal plight and casts a searing spotlight on the fact that we are all uniquely un-unique--that, in the end, we all share the same fate." --Douglas Light, Author of The Trouble With Bliss and Where Night Stops "[THE GLAMSHACK] is that exceptionally rare, uncategorizable novel that not only finds its greatest achievements in its singularity, but also serves as a reminder of how very familiar and commonly un-daring contemporary fiction is in general." --Josh Kendall, Executive Editor, Little Brown
