From the Publisher​​​​​​​"South Texas is becoming the go-to place for a certain kind of fiction. Plainspoken, effortlessly poetic, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny (see the opener, "Dick Tea"), Moreira's very first short story collection evokes a sense of place and emotion reminiscent of a Scott Mclanahan or a Brian Allen Carr (who happened to edit this one). Like I said, there's something about the South. I'm beginning to wonder if the heat just strips away all the fat of the prose, leaving only bone."​​Advance Praise"Brash, hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking, Robert Paul Moreira's stories are exquisite mini-portraits of lives filled with sex, baseball, movies and small victories. A pure delight." ​​--Daniel A. Olivas, author of The Book of Want and Things We Do Not Talk About: Exploring Latino/a Literature Through Essays and Interviews​​"Robert Paul Moreira must be down there on the Rio Grande panning hearts and souls out of that dirty water. He's like a blue-collar Borges, and Scores is a labyrinth of a thing: all twisted with violence and empathy and hallelujahs. I suggest you get all lost in it." ​--Scott McClanahan, author of Crapalachia and The Sarah Book
