Mangled Hands - Paperback

by Johnny Stanton (Author), George Salis (Introduction by), George Salis (Interviewer)

"Johnny Stanton's Mangled Hands is such an oddity that it confounds description or comparison. . . . It] is so unusual and original that many readers with a serious interest in fiction will find it liberating." - Bob Halliday, The Washington Post

Excerpt from the back cover of the original 1985 Sun & Moon Press edition::

"For years, Manged Hands was passed among New York poets and fiction writers in manuscript form, and its author, Johnny Stanton, developed an underground reputation as one of the most gifted writers of the generation directly influenced by the New York Poets. . . . Mangled Hands stands between Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude in style and spirit."
