“The characters in this book have been playing tennis for most of their lives—like alcohol to Homer Simpson, it is both the cause of & the solution to all of life’s problems.”

In Ashton Politanoff’s new novel Dad Had a Bad Day, a man defenseless against his repetition compulsion unravels in chiseled and unnerving prose. @beaudealy racquetmag.com/dad-had-a-bad…
