Laredo Tony Rauch

Readers will delight in Rauch's mix of science fiction, surrealism and fantasy. His fiction features the absurd, the silly, the dream-like, the fairytale, all blended with the unexpected; and thematically explores the human condition, a person's search for his or her place in an indifferent world, with underlying subtexts of loss, regret, confusion, loneliness, ambivalence, impermanence.

"Tony Rauch's fictions capture a sense of the irreal with style and precision. Here is an author who effectively represents the rabid intricacies of absurd life, using the colloquial to convey the Byzantine." - D. Harlan Wilson, author of Blankety Blank: A Memoir of Vulgarity

"With each story, Tony Rauch invites you into a house he has built in space, decorated with the absurd humor of Barry Yourgrau and the neuroses of Woody Allen." - Andersen Prunty, author of The Overwhelming Urge
