Some of the stories in Guinotte Wise's Night Train, Cold Beer have been in literary reviews, some haven't, none are more than a year or two old. Situations and locales range from a mystical bull ride in Oklahoma, to nervous infidelity in Ohio; pot-growing on government land in Kansas to a hurricane approaching Louisiana; a young boy besotted with a Kansas City calendar girl to a father/daughter first-time meeting in Los Angeles. The collection won The H. Palmer Hall Award and publication by Pecan Grove Press in 2013. A second collection is forthcoming, titled Holes in the Ceiling
Blurbs on the back cover: "...crazy ass, brain-jiggling collection (certifies) that Mr. Wise is the genuine item, an honest to God writer who knows how to put the hoodoo spell on readers, high and low, and no mucking around in the sleepy in-between."
–Bob Shacochis, National Book Award recipient, author of Easy in The Islands and The Woman Who Lost Her Soul
"Guinotte Wise's Midwest evokes my own California Coastal upbringing, complete with rodeos (pronounced row-day-ohs where I come from), rural car romps, mystic views of pasts long gone, and lovely windswept landscapes bathed in Americana. It's like Guinotte Wise ate John Steinbeck, made him a part of him, and now old Jack (if you know him as well as I do) is the him of him. Yet these are stories for now. Feed on them and be nourished."
Jamie Iredell, author of The Book of Freaks
"Honest, blunt, wild, piercing, chilling, gloriously cinematic in their distilled heat. Like a whole series of little intense Tarantino movies, but subtler."
Brian Doyle, author of Mink River
