“THE WEEKENDER is a tight fever dream drenched in dark cavity searches, Spam sandwiches, and the lonely movement of time. A modern day Beat combination of Rocky Balboa uppercuts and Kerouacian human perception, Nate Jordon’s writing fires off the page like a consecrated bar fight, splattering the walls with clock springs, a raw fortitude of language, and a fair amount of blood.”
- Rob Geisen, author of Beautiful Graveyards and Paper Thin
“In THE WEEKENDER, Jordon describes the greatest fear of all literarily-inclined small-time crooks: ending up inside the slammer with the pros. Fascinating characters and hilarious dialogue populate this story that manages to be both hilarious and sobering.”
- Nicholas B. Morris, author of Tapeworm
“Extremely tight and effective. The setting is so effectual it makes you feel like you’re there, and you don’t fucking want to be there. Powerful piece.”
- Jack Collom, author of Red Car Goes By and Cold Instant
“Nate Jordon obliterates all decaying museums of stuporous thought and blasts us into a fugue state of thrombosis, both potent and life-altering.”
- Meg Tuite, author of Domestic Apparition and Disparate Pathos
