Description
A man sits collect-calling strangers every day just to hear the sounds of the outside world; an inmate recalls his descent into addiction as his prison softball team gears up for an annual tournament; a prisoner is released and finds freedom more complex and baffling than he expected.
In this stunning debut story collection, Curtis Dawkins, who is currently serving a life sentence without parole, gives voice to the experience of some of the most isolated members of our society.

I found myself unable to detach from this collection of short stories. Each story flowed so well into the next story that it almost reads like a novel rather than a short story collection.
Every single story in this book is captivating and beautifully written. Dawkins presents the reader with a strange bunch of intruiging characters. All of the stories are set in prison which accounts for the title The Graybar Hotel.
Even now hours after finishing the last story I sit here thinking about all of the characters. That is the sign of a great writer. These characters have wormed their way into my brain and I have no intention of releasing them. I suppose you could say they are all serving life without parole in my imagination.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed the author's writing style and would definitely read anything else written by him.
