Nothing to Lose

Drawing on the rich complexity of the American Midwest Kim Suhr peoples her debut book of fiction with characters that we know carved out of the Wisconsin landscape and caught between expectation and desire. An Iraq war veteran stalks the streets of Madison. Four drunk friends hunt deer outside of Antigo. A mother tries to save her son. A transplanted New Yorker plots revenge against her husband. A man sobers up and opens a paintball range for Jesus. A woman with nothing to lose waits for her first kiss. Personal and powerful Kim Suhrs Nothing to Lose shows us a region filled with real people: less than perfect plagued with doubts always reaching.
