Editorial Reviews
BOMB Magazine
"He mixes fire and ice in varying doses like a mad literary alchemist...often surreal but searing." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Nelson Taylor, Bomb, Fall 1998
Jim Grimsley is a dark, witty Southern writer. Making no apologies for being tough, Grimsley dives headlong into heated contemporary issues such as religion, family, and same-gender sex. His powers are dialogue and description, which are always free of judgment. In his debut collection of plays, Mr. Universe & Other Plays, he mixes fire and ice in varying doses like a mad literary alchemist....Introduced by the likes of a Reynolds Price or a Kaye Gibbons, each play presents an often surreal but searing allegory for the tepid and shallow flow of status quo America. Grimsley began writing plays while waiting for his debut novel to sell. Turned down by every major house in the U.S.,Winter Birds was finally published in Europe to critical acclaim, and when eventually published here, raked in the esteemed Sue Kaufman Prize awarded by the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Although Grimsley insists he is a novelist first (he's published three now) and a playwright second, there's no denying that he's a force to be reckoned with on both fronts.
