A return to the non-academic. A return to small town anti-heroes. And Garret Schuelke is leading the way.”–Elizabeth Ellen, author of Person/A “Garret Schuelke is the kind of writer who will pilfer a leather bomber jacket out of a garbage can and then hit the shitty neighborhood bar thinking he looks real goddamn good in it, so yeah, a kindred spirit.”–Brian Allan Ellis, author of A Series of Pained Facial Expressions Made While Shredding Air Guitar “Garret Schuelke writes for the lost, knocking over library shelves, screaming at bosses, jumping any fence in the way to get to the weird vibrating heart too often missing from books.”–Bud Smith, author of F 250 “Schuelke is the true heir to the crown of American Dirty Realism.”–Gareth Spark, author of Snake Farm “Garret Schuelke, to quote Jeff McDaniel, is the hand reaching out of the wreck.“—John Withee, author of The Scallywags of Nobody’s Island “Garret Schuelke is an explorer of old and new lands.“—Beach Sloth, author of I want to Youtube down the Rivers of America “…a talented vagabond, brewed from a cultural melting pot that is as much Allen Ginsberg as it is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” –description from the Black Lodge Family Jamboree invite page.
