USA Best Book Awards 2015 Award-Winning Finalist for short story collection. The Strangeness of Men is a witty collection of short stories, flash fiction, and prose poetry. A naked sleepwalker, Wonder Woman wrangled by a housewife, a 1913 murder, sex lessons at church nacho night, the mythic Andromeda in an assisted living facility, a Zambian youth besieged by bullies, and a guy in a dog suit--are just a few of these thirty--eight quirky tales that will keep you thinking long after you put down the book. "Relationships are tricky, whether it's men and women, fathers and daughters, siblings, or a disabled lady and the gentleman who sleepswims naked in her pool. Kim Drew Wright fearlessly explores the spectrum of human dynamics. With humor and compassion she introduces us to all kinds of characters: the Jesus with great pot, the arthritic dog who forges an unlikely friendship between a widower and a prickly neighbor, the controlling husband who lies to his wife about a letter. Brimming with finesse, The Strangeness of Men is a treasure chest stuffed with literary goodies. Open it up and look inside!" --Boston Literary Magazine "These stories and poems are filled with those small significant moments in life where we try to snatch triumph from calamity. Kim Drew Wright is insightful and her characters are as real as the couple next door, your colleagues, your friends. Fun and sassy, sometimes sad, always heartfelt, this diverse collection is an excellent read." --Jennifer Falkner, Circa: A Journal of Historical Fiction "Sweet and simple at times, experimental and edgy at others, this short and eclectic collection is imbued with a sense of longing that transcends gender and cuts straight to the heart of the human condition." --Bill Glose, author of Half a Man and The Human Touch "In The Strangeness of Men, Wright displays an uncanny ability to reveal significance in moments of profound mundanity. These pieces, a beautifully orchestrated collection of stories and poems, speak to our human fragility and resilience. Here, even the briefest encounters resonate with startling insight and poignancy." --Rebeca Morales, The Milo Review "Kim Drew Wright's The Strangeness of Men traverses an emotional terrain spanning the complications of modern love to the secrets of lives in subdivisions. With a quick eye to popular culture and sympathy for the small, human moments that make a life meaningful, this collection takes the reader on a journey through the extraordinary within the ordinary." --Renée K.

Perfect Read for the Short Fiction Fan By Brad Tate The Strangeness of Men is a captivating collection of short stories and poems -- each as clever and relatable as the next. Wright artfully tackles subjects ranging from the innocence of children confronted with adult violence just out of their grasping, through the struggles of adolescence and coming of age, to the tedium, tension, and frustration of constantly grabbing and letting go through the middle years, as well as the celebration, remembrance, and reflective attempts to make sense of it all in maturity. But, it is Wright's ability to draw from the everyday, the common and mundane, and create a series of engaging stories that is the strength of this collection. I found that most of the events or circumstances illustrated throughout these tales, historical, dystopian, and in places far away, just like those drawn from the excitement and tedium of every stage of our mostly common lives were convincingly familiar. I found myself laughing or sighing by the end of more stories than not in agreement or acknowledgement of that familiarity, that sense or memory of having been a part of this before. Easy to recommend for friends and family.

Wright manages to configure a tribe of stories laced together by grace, wisdom, and just the right touch of weird. Whether she articulates the memory of lost love: "You knew me then. These are some things I remember, but they are dry like spent coals that break apart when handled. (Do ashes remember the flame?)" or Wonder Woman sharing a gin and tonic with a frazzled housewife, Wright captures the moments in life which effectively break our hearts and then reassemble them, for better or worse. It's quite a trick!The language is poetic and luminous, even while some stories are just about as gritty as life itself. The diversity of the collection is striking: in one piece, Wright manages a poignant, engaging meditation on Andromeda in the assisted living facility, while in just the next story, she describes a grueling day in the life of a "typical" stay-at-home mom. There's a lot going on in "The Strangeness of Men." You should treat yourself and read about it.
