Recenzii
“Novelist Kinder pours out sudden, undomesticated, melancholy word songs from his home place, where he’s returned to gather stories for stewing in his imagination and memory.”
–Kirkus Reviews
–Kirkus Reviews
“Colorful enough to inspire Michael Douglas’ character, Grady Tripp, in the movie Wonder Boys, Kinder starts with the most interesting West Virginian available: himself.”
Alan Moores, Booklist
Alan Moores, Booklist
“Sparks fly, plans are hatched, threats are made, and a lot of legally questionable activity is engaged in, and Kinder’s fine prose relates it all.”
