Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Robert Draper has made an exciting debut. He’s got a good ear for the tones of the region and a sharp sense of how the oppressiveness of it adds its weight to the actual oppression that is his theme. I hope he finds many readers.” —Larry McMurtry
“Hadrian’s Walls, is…a deft, occasionally ingenious novel.” —New York Times Book Review
“[A] scorching, Faustian first novel…Draper skillfully balances his stark portrayal of Shepherdsville’s environs and feckless inhabitants with the affecting drama that unfolds among the central characters. His ambitious novel explores the irony, pathos and contradictions both of freedom vs. captivity and of good vs. evil.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“In his cool, prosaically loping fiction debut, Texas journalist Draper easily entraps the reader in a Lone Star State prison town …[Hadrian’s Walls] provides sooty, ragged, fearsome reading pleasure…A breezy encounter with human darkness, carried on by the lilt of Draper’s choice prose.” —Kirkus Review
