Written after two years of living in China, Black Class Cur is set in that country on the eve of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The main characters are a former Red Guard and his younger brother who gets fatally involved in the student demonstrations. They come up against an American "foreign expert" whose preoccupation is locating a baby to adopt, with or without the help of a gang of third-world medical students. Black Class Cur was nominated for the Editor's Book Award. "...a narrative that begins with controlled wildness and a touch of the absurd, and escalates from there."

KILLING BRYCE shows the disintegration of a family of Jack-Mormons who get scattered across two continents like bits of rock salt sprayed from the muzzle of a shotgun. "Tom Bradley is a writer of truly extravagant gifts..”Stephen Goodwin, author of Blood in Paradise." Beyond the almost flawless surface of his stylistic facility, I am most impressed by Tom Bradley’s ability to walk the edge of a tone that is simultaneously irreverent and profoundly serious.” Gordon Weaver, author of The Way We Know in Dreams. KILLING BRYCE was a finalist in the AWP Award Series in the Novel, and was nominated for the New York University Bobst Award. Find out about Tom Bradley’s novels at http://literati.net/Bradley

A lapsed Mormon banjoist losing his mind on the London tube... A Japanese language teacher being fisted in the Utah desert by Uncompahgre Indians while their squaws gnaw on his fingers... An acid-addled fourteen-year-old's brain dalliance with an old lady in a Nevada psych ward... Who else could it be? "Tom Bradley is one of the most criminally underrated authors on the planet."

The painter and poet, in a death-wrestle, try to disentangle their protean identities, or at least to maintain a numerical tally of the limbs, heads, and torsos their shifting persons comprise. As in Family Romance (Jaded Ibis Press), Tom Bradley has accepted the challenge posed by a stack of preexisting art. In this case the ekphrasis is in verse, and the images have sprung from the cranium of David Aronson. Publisher Jonathan Penton says, "This is the most peculiar book of erotica, and the weirdest book of poetry outside of psychoses outright, I've ever seen. This is Bhagavad-Gita porn."
