Synopsis

Bledsoe…is a gifted storyteller, so it’s not surprising that Man of Clay abounds with folktales from different cultures. He clearly has been influenced by storytelling›s power to define the unknowable. Bledsoe expertly threads multiple literary genres through the novel: slave narrative, magical realism, and science fiction/fantasy. But, ultimately, it doesn›t matter what literary style, narrative voice, set pieces or genre ethos Bledsoe exploits, because his imagination is persuasive and he›s written an unforgettable and engaging novel.”
Matt Baker, The Arkansas Times

C. L. Bledsoe’s Last Stand in Zombietown has big yellow teeth and rotting gums not seen since the advent of modern dentistry. The novella chews up your sense of decorum and leaves you laughing about it. It is not intended for anyone in need of an aortic bypass, or suffering irritable bowels. Bledsoe’s energy comes from pithy verbal skirmishes, crass sex scenes, and cutting commentary on everything from Sam Walton’s clientele to Yankees and yuppies.
Jeff Sural, The Loch Raven Review

Regarding Naming the Animals: “Bledsoe is a writer of big stories because he allows his readers to come a bit closer to each other by observing the many incarnations, either beautiful or pathetic of the human animal…While Bledsoe is a master at revealing—without sentiment or apology—the callous and the ruthless parts of the human animal, as well as the significance of the everyday lives of his characters, it is his use of language that elevates his writing. Bledsoe has a poet’s ear.”
Tim Coone, The Arkansas Review
