"Social Blunders finds the indefatigable Sam Callahan mourning the defection of his second wife, Wanda. In an attempt to shake off the doldrums, Sam embarks on a comic quest to find the father he never knew, but since he was conceived in a night of drunken debauchery, he comes up with a list of five possibe dads...Social Blunders is a weird, funny, raunchy novel that veers wildly from pathos to slapstick and back again, and it's surprisingly effective." -Booklist
"I always savor the Tim Sandlin read...even though the temptation is to devour his stories quickly, I like to stretch it out as long as possible...Angst has never been so charming." -Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth
