PRAISE FOR KINGS ROW:
"In the utterly absorbing Kings Row, Jeffrey Voccola shows himself to be a master of the faultlines of class and of all the ways, large and small, in which people hurt each other. I couldn't stop turning the pages of this suspenseful novel. Kings Row is a stellar debut." --Margot Livesey, author of Mercury and The House on Fortune Street
"This beautifully-paced, eloquent and suspenseful novel is full of persuasive, sharply observed psychology, sociology, and topology, and an honest voicing of working class people, male and female....Voccola writes with dead-pan lyricism, an attentive ear, and generous heart." --DeWitt Henry, author of Sweet Marjoram and co-founder of Ploughshares
"From its masterful opening chapter on, Kings Row captures the divides and resentments that have brought us to this moment in America. This novel is a deep study of people unsure of their positions in their personal lives and in the larger sphere of change. Voccola writes beautifully and compassionately, even about tragedy." --Tim Parrish, author of Fear and What Follows: The Violent Education of a Christian Racist, A Memoir
"Kings Row masterfully deconstructs a killing deeply emblematic of the class and race issues that plague our time. With lyrical, heart-piercing realism, Jeffrey Voccola evokes our deepest compassion for these ill-fated characters, showing us ourselves reflected in college students struggling to belong, in displaced working class communities. Provocative and suspenseful, Kings Row introduces an exciting new writer to watch." --Wayne Harrison, author of The Spark and the Drive and Wrench and Other Stories
