Kyle Seibel's debut short story collection is a bracing look into the lives of society's misfits.
Each story explores a different nuance of the modern day loser--soft-hearted alcoholics, cunning factory workers, and military veterans lost at sea. Seibel transcends these stereotypes, revealing the humanity within the worst of us and the tenderness beneath machismo.
Hey You Assholes dismisses the notion of likability and instead presents individuals who are more flawed and, as a result, more realistic. Seibel sheds light on the trials of those most often ignored--the impoverished, the addicted, and yes, the assholes. Read as a whole, it's a record of a broken world's most difficult subjects. These unapologetic and unforgettable stories hold nothing back.
