These People Are Us

George Singleton write conversationally, fluidly like real life. He writes like the monologue that narrates our memories, simply and without undue adornment. It emphasizes the singular occasions when he gets artful. It leaves his works relying mostly on players and plot.

He said in an interview once that "I am my main characters, for better or worse." Their faults are his faults, their virtues (if there are any) are also his.
"I'd look down at the lake and wonder why our bodies seemed more water then dirt, more dirt than air or fire."
-George Singleton
