I’m Right Here is a new collection of experimental short fiction by Minnesota author Tony Rauch. Rauch paints a surreal landscape of lurid sex, secret agents, Scott Baio, ostriches, and professional wrestling—each story building on the last to give a bizarre, off-balance commentary on the isolation, loneliness and chaos of modern urban society.

“If William Burroughs and Garrison Keillor had a love child in a parallel universe, it would have to be Tony Rauch! One part Dadaism, two parts made poetry of the wide open spaces of the mind, Rauch’s stories inhabit their peculiar corner of the universe with the down home authenticity of Lutheran pie.”

-Jonis Agee, author of South of Resurrection

“This book is laced with the zaniness and ironies of contemporary life and the wit to deal with them. Reading I’m Right Here, I was reminded of the first time I read Tom Robbins. This book will shake unwary folk right out of their complexes. It will knock their Birkenstocks off.”

-Jim Heynen, author of One Room Schoolhouse
