Raves and Reviews
"In wickedly beautiful prose, Grant Ginder gives us a twenty-first-century morality tale that rivals any novel I've read in a long, long time. This Is How It Starts is a funny, sad, and heartfelt debut by one of America's best new writers." -- Donald Ray Pollock, author of Knockemstiff
"An engaging, insightful, wonderfully self-deprecating narrator holds our hand through an insider's tour of the Capitol, and Ginder's cozy, original prose gives us a portrait of disillusionment that is at turns brutal, poignant, shocking -- and always hilarious." -- Jeff Hobbs, national bestselling author of The Tourists
