Author Description

In prose as fast as an Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, Zvi A. Sesling takes you on the road and off-track, through thick summer nights, from Boston to 'Bama. And you'll have fun, fun, fun riding shotgun with the dragster, the trickster, the hustler, till Sesling turns down some dark by-ways of post-war America we can only forget at our peril. -Kevin M. Mcintosh, author of the novel Class Dismissed Gentlemen, start your engines! Muscle cars, muscle men, young babes in tight tees — Sesling’s collection is a steamy summer night’s ride along the highway with the top of your convertible down, bottled beer in the cooler, and the Stones screaming out of your speakers. Will there be trouble along the way? Of course! Nightsticks ‘n road rage ‘n wild women equal Wheels. Kick back in your seat and travel down the road to a simpler time, not the best, nor the kindest of times, but simpler, when all you had to think about was your rep and laying down some rubber. - Patricia Gomes, Poet Laureate of New Bedford, Massachusetts 2014-2021 Get a copy of Zvi Sesling’s new flash fiction chapbook Wheels and belt yourself beside the author in the passenger seat of an Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, Quad 4, FE3. With the wind blowing back your hair, surrender to the roar of the engine, the smell of gasoline and exhaust, and the humor, irony, and wistfulness of these twenty-one micro fictions. Experience Sesling’s own version of our American romance with automobiles as he describes the toy car of his childhood, the first car of his youth, and the “used car” he identifies with in his later life. And trust the man behind the wheel as he narrates his adventures with troopers (both helpful and hostile), roadkill, young women, ne’er-do-wells, and celebrities. Keep an eye on the road and you’ll find that Sesling’s stories are an entry ramp to your own memories. -Gregory J. Wolos, author of The Green Ray and Other Stories
