Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Ravishing…[a] marvel of a novel. Grade: A.” Entertainment Weekly
“Clinch’s riverbank Missouri feels postapocalyptic, and his Pap Finn is a crazed yet wily survivor in a polluted landscape.” Newsweek
“An inspired riff on one of literature’s all-time great villains.” New Orleans Times-Picayune
“Told in the present tense, it’s a treasure trove of opportunity for the right reader, and Ed Sala is that. His speech seems that of a middle-aged mid-nineteenth-century American…Best of all, Sala reads at a pace that lets listeners appreciate the fine descriptions of the Mississippi setting. In an informative author interview, Clinch says he was working toward something that could be read aloud. He succeeded. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
