Inman Majors

Inman Majors’s writing has been compared to that of Charles Portis, Barry Hannah, and Kingsley Amis. In his last novel, Loves Winning Plays, he took on SEC football, and the Wall Street Journal called the results “delightful”; Publishers Weekly called the novel “funny, irreverent and savvy”; and Booklist, in a starred review, said, “The writing is witty and razor-sharp throughout.” Of Wonderdog, a send up of local politics, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said, “Majors scores big points with his cast of friendly eccentrics, zingy dialogue, and a plot that wanders across the Southern landscape like a crazed raccoon chased by a pack of wild dogs.” Now, in PENELOPE LEMON: GAME ON! (LSU Press/Yellow Shoe Fiction; August 15, 2018; ISBN: 978-0807169513), he takes a cock-eyed look at the challenges of divorced life for one woman in small-town America.
