Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“William Gay is richly gifted: a seemingly effortless storyteller…a writer of prose that’s fiercecly wrought, pungent in detail yet poetic in the most welcome sense.” —New York Times Book Review
“Gay captivates with bristling tales of old men, bootleggers, and wife-beaters in rural Tennessee…His prose is as natural and pure as it comes.” —Newsweek
“Gay’s characters come right up and bite you…[His] well-chosen words propel the reader straight through his thirteen stories.” —Denver Post
“Writers like Flannery O’Connor or William Faulkner would welcome Gay as their peer for getting characters so entangled in the roots of a family tree.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune
“After two stunning novels that combined the esoteric language of Cormac McCarthy with the subtle humor of Larry Brown, Gay delivers a concise craft work in his first short-story collection…Much in the same way that Erskine Caldwell created slice-of-life Southern stories that were full of humor, conflict, and even forbidden sensuality many years ago, so now does William Gay.” —Oregonian
“Gay confirms his place in the Southern fiction pantheon…A fine showcase for Gay’s imaginative talent.” —Publishers Weekly
“[Gay] brings to these stories the same astounding talent that earned his novels, The Long Home and Provinces of Night, a devoted following…[A] consistently excellent collection.” —Booklist (starred review)
“As charming as it is wise. Hellfire—in all the right ways.” —Kirkus Reviews
