Publisher's Synopsis
Norton flexes his literary muscles and takes on an impressive breadth of topics in these gritty, passionate tales. He turns genres inside out, has a hell of an ear for dialogue and knows how to tell a good story.
Dean Monti, author of The Sweep of the Second Hand
Jim Chandler Fast-paced and sometimes furious, these linked Chicago stories involve burnt-out radicals, women in flight, workers that get away with things while searching for self-respect. There a few old-style labor battles too, and for once the union rep actually wins an argument with the company guy. It's worth a read in times when even partial victories are hard to come by.
John Crawford, Editor, West End Press Norton's work is strikingly original and highly inventive, but perhaps more importantly, possesses a strong sense of political relevance."
Fred Schepartz, Editor, Mobius: A Journal of Social Change Greg Norton's fiction gives an accurate and vivid portrait of some of the most important currents of rebellion in working-class life. Very few writers today have a clue about this paramount question in American life. His novel There Ain't No Justice, Just Us and some of the stories in this collection, notably "Factory," open a vista of the possibilities of revolt for the working-class majority against the capitalist parasites. They are inspiring.
