"There is at least a laugh a page in Rowdy in Paris as Rowdy stumbles over every cultural stereotype an American could encounter in Paris. A great companion piece for those who loved Tim Sandlin's Western Swing and Sex and Sunsets ."-W. P. Kinsella, author of Shoeless Joe and Japanese Baseball and Other Stories "The great Tim Sandlin is in full stride with Rowdy in Paris , a novel that's funny, sharp, and endearing. Sandlin's cockeyed humor and piquant prose deliver once more all the delights we've come to expect from him."- Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter's Bone "Funny yet poignant. Once again, Sandlin moved me while keeping me laughing like no other writer I know. I now want to have sex in the Paris catacombs as soon as possible."- Tiffanie DeBartolo, author of How to Kill a Rock Star "Strap up, tuck in, and tie off, 'cause Tim Sandlin is taking you on a hilarious go-round in that hotbed of rodeo activity -- Paris...France. Not Texas...Really."- Craig Johnson, author of Kindness Goes Unpunished "So, here's what happens in Rowdy in Paris . You read it as though your life depends upon it. It's that propulsive. You laugh until your stomach aches. It's truly that funny. And you check quite a lot to see who might witness your hilarity. It's that socially wicked. It's Sandlin at his best."-Mark Spragg, author of The Fruit of the Stone and An Unfinished Life " Rowdy in Paris is a delight. If you read only one book this year about a sawed-off bull rider looking for a stolen buckle, love, dignity, and a decent cup of coffee in the City of Lights, make it this one."- Sarah Bird, author of Weightless and Virgin of the Rodeo " Rowdy in Paris is tender-hearted and funny, full of self-evident truths, legitimate courtesans, and sexy philosophy students. You can't ask for more without seeming greedy.'' - Bill Fitzhugh, author of Pest Control " Rowdy in Paris offers everything a reader needs: intrigue, satire, wild sex, obsession, tame sex, haughty philosophers, misdirected foreigners, questionable expatriates, eco(nomic) terrorists, and cowboy boots on cobblestones. Rowdy Talbot is a perfect anti-hero forever pulling off heroic acts." - George Singleton, author of Work Shirts for Madmen, "There is at least a laugh a page in Rowdy in Parisas Rowdy stumbles over every cultural stereotype an American could encounter in Paris.
