Praise
“Alligator Tears is gorgeous, poignant, and raw, chock-full of hope and want and irrepressible, aching beauty. This is the kind of Florida writing that I love most: a daring, swampy slick of a collection where the humidity hangs like a hug. Edgar Gomez is a tremendous talent. I’ll read anything he writes.”—Kristen Arnett, author of With Teeth
“Edgar Gomez is a young writer of deep talent and enormous grace. Alligator Tears speaks for the lost tribes of ‘other,’ those who serve our food, do our taxes, and mind our children. They walk the earth among us, invisible, without a voice. I am so glad that Edgar Gomez has given them one.”—James McBride, New York Times bestselling author of The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
“No one writes about the terrors of late-stage capitalism with such humor, candor, and aplomb. In every sentence, Gomez elucidates the unnecessary horrors of suffering in the American context. To our benefit (and relief), he accomplishes this feat with the wonder of a child and the wit of a satirist. Affecting and inspiring, Alligator Tears is more proof that Gomez is a writer who deserves our attention.”—Alejandro Varela, author of National Book Award finalist The Town of Babylon
