Carter doesn't know where he'll end up. Convinced the Earth is flat and that he's been duped by an untrustworthy world for too long, Carter's father is dragging him to an encampment that is both a cult and an uprising. Many characters are hell-bent on taking advantage of each other and rarely dealing in the truth. While Carter's circumstances remain precarious, so too does the future of a world where fact and fallacy merge into one, in ways eerily familiar to the modern-day U.S.A.

Reviews

"Read this novella near some mountains, if possible. Otherwise, these poignantly drawn characters, their futile efforts, their fatal moral convictions, will crawl inside your head and make you long for the certitude of flat spaces. Rodriguez has a knack for creating fresh, poetic phrases to roll around the reader's head, and his flair for language sustains this intriguing tale.”

—Katharine Coldiron, author of Junk Film

“A keenly crafted work of discomfort, challenging the reader to suffer the heat that emanates from its pages along with the characters they house. Some Things You Love with Your Insides, Your Guts doesn’t offer us a lens to steal a glance into Rodriguez’s worldview, but a mirror to scry our own. Don't read it at your own peril.”

—David Estringel, author of Escaping Emily and Blind Turns in the Kitchen Sink
