The Good Men Project is thrilled to share the new novel by our Fiction Editor Matthew Salesses.
Matt Salesses has been writing for The Good Men Project ever since its launch (see “Ouch” and his still ongoing “Love, Recorded” column, or his much-shared “How the Rules of Racism Are Different for Asian Americans”). He is currently The Good Men Project‘s Fiction Editor, and we’re delighted to share that he has a novel out now about a man in the difficult position of trying to father a just-discovered son. It’s titled, I’m Not Saying, I’m Just Saying.
The book is currently on sale at Amazon. You can get the ebook for only $2.99. Just think of it as buying an extra beer.
From the publisher: I’m Not Saying, I’m Just Saying is a raw, honest look at parenting, commitment, morality, and the spaces that grow between and within us when we don’t know what to say. In 115 very short chapters, a man who learns he has a 5-year-old son is caught between the life he knows and a life he may not yet be ready for.
“An absolute stunner of a novel… as if to say: This, this is life! And we are all, in one way or another, survivors.”
—Kathy Fish, author of Together We Can Bury It“The messiness of life, family, love in its myriad complex forms… a pointillist masterpiece.”
—Marie Myung-Ok Lee, author of Somebody’s Daughter
The trailer for the book was done by Ken Calhoun, and stars the author. We think it’s well worth 2 minutes of your day.
