Donoghue…is superb at capturing the unmediated hearts of love-drenched adolescents: raw, vulnerable, disorienting, almost painfully excitable.

Brendan Shay Basham's debut novel is an incantatory trip through place and time, fueled by grief and animated by magic. Sometimes as intense and disorienting as a virtual reality excursion or a fever dream…"Swim Home to the Vanished" preserves some memorable stories, memorably.

"The Prophets" by Robert Jones, Jr. is a Natl. Book Award finalist in fiction. Here's my review of it: http://strib.mn/2Mnjz7b @nationalbook @SonofBaldwin @penguinrandom https://t.co/vsUlBaRFFk

Masterfully reveals Brooks as both reporter and fiction writer, marshaling facts and details while probing the ever-motivating miracles of love and loss.

Manages superbly (and efficiently) to be many things: A beguilingly simple tale. A complicated morality play. A sensitive evocation of a time ... Lots of novels twice as long have half as much heft ... It’s a contemporary classic.
