Fiction. In this premier collection of stories, OPPOSABLE THUMBS, Suzanne Hudson reignites literary interest in her work that has laid dormant for years since she turned her back to the literary world after winning the Hackney Literary Awards competition as well as being published in Penthouse magazine and New Writers magazine. In this collection of shorts, "integrations, incest, white trash, and God...it's all here, in a bitter-sweet meringue. Suzanne Hudson's hilarious and moving stories tackle some of the South's major themes without flinching"-Tom Franklin. "Hudson writes like a fallen angel. Her characters may have one foot in heaven, and the other in hell, but she touches them with an ironic humor and a fiery grace"—William Gay.
