In this quirky, humorous, and deeply human short story collection, Pushcart Prize-nominated author R.L. Maizes reminds us that even in our most isolated moments, we are never truly alone.

In We Love Anderson Cooper, characters are treated as outsiders because of their sexual orientation, racial or religious identity, or simply because they look different. A young man courts the publicity that comes from outing himself at his bar mitzvah. When a painter is shunned because of his appearance, he learns to ink tattoos that come to life. A paranoid Jewish actuary suspects his cat of cheating on him—with his Protestant girlfriend.

In this debut collection, humor complements pathos. Readers will recognize themselves in these stories and in these protagonists, whose backgrounds are vastly different from their own—we’ve all been outsiders at some point.

Loved these stories. Mostly about someone in a family situation dealing with a major life shift or revelation. Each tale is evocative, funny and a little dark - quite a few have slight magical realism woven in. I particularly enjoyed the one with the artist turned tattoo artist.

The whole thing was superb. But also, overall fairly short - so each idea is given space but not over worked. Delightful + a really superb collection of short stories. The author is obviously one to watch.

Fabulous eclectic collection
