Published Reviews

"Rex and Byron are a pair of night fishermen who hooked up in unlikely circumstances years earlier; their language seems coarse, but their bonding -- and limits -- is poignant. Like those of Flannery O'Connor, [Grissom's] epiphanies are a sudden awareness more of shadow than of light."
