Why God Why is a collection of bizarre, hilarious, occasionally touching and occasionally creepy flash fiction pieces. "Matt Rowan writes as if he'd spent the past several years living inside a Russell Edson poem. Hands come from the sky to offer uninterpretable signs, superheroes with terrible powers make peace with themselves, public speakers demonstrate their insect-enlarging guns (necessary for world peace!) or declare that we must defeat the menace of the bats by becoming bats ourselves. The stories move with so much weird energy that we get the impression that, rather than ending, we are watching them shake themselves apart, or explode." - James Tadd Adcox, author of Does Not Love and The Map of the System of Human Knowledge "This book is a delight, but the immense satisfaction you feel upon finishing it comes at a price, for the stories in Why God Why are there to taunt you: Why didn't you write these? Why, God, why?" - Lindsay Hunter, author of Hot Springs Drive and Eat Only When You're Hungry
