Advanced Praise for Cubicles:
"Garrett Brown knows the ways in which changing a part can change the soul. This new collection, a voyeur's wet dram, is ingenious in its parts, unmarked bottles the jewels in Brown's gaze. All of America's superheroes are here, at the next desk down. Somewhere, Studs Terkel is smiling..."
—Rafael Alvarez, author, Tales from the Holy Land
“The only “I” here is Temporary. In Cubicles, Garrett J. Brown serves up an employee directory of lost hopes and Wikipedia dreams, pixilated versions of the mundanities that permeate our lives. Brown proves himself a true empath, offering details just tender enough to help us “see pigeons as winged rats roosting under el tracks,” even as the guy in the bathroom stall over talks on his cell."
—Brandi Homan, author, Bobcat Country
