This book enthralled me. I don‘t quite know how to review it because it seems to cross genres…NYT Book Review says it best: “Spellbinding…like a piece of stormy poetry.”
I rarely reread books, but this is one I want to read again soon, knowing the plot,(of sorts)I can slow down and pay attention more closely to its brutal,raw, beauty.

“All stories are ghost stories, about things lost, people, memories, home, passion, youth, about things struggling to be seen, to be accepted, by the living (69).

Got this from my library via the Libby app. I was looking for another title, don‘t even remember what it was, and saw this. Being my name is Sarah Jane, I knew I had to give it a go. 🤓

I didn't know who James Sallis was, but I've learned that he has written MANY books & one was turned into the movie, Drive (haven't seen). It's nice to come out of my cave now & then! The air is fresh! Lol

I requested this on a whim & have no idea how to describe it, but its raw & tender humanity gripped me. Poetic, existential noir minus a conventional crime plot. Vivid characters & a fine slice of small-town USA. Superbly written. #netgalley

saresmoore I don‘t know about all that fresh air. I‘ve lit a nice candle in the cave and I feel pretty content... The book sounds great, though! 5y

batsy @Cathythoughts 👍🏽 5y

batsy @saresmoore Candles and cosy lighting lure me back to the cave, without a doubt 😂 5y

Tonton James Sallis is so good！One of my favorite authors. 5y

readordierachel Who knew?? I have seen Drive. It's good, if a little violent. 5y

batsy @Tonton That's great! I'm looking forward to checking out his other books. Any in particular you'd recommend? 5y

batsy @readordierachel Drive has been on my to-be-watched forever 😂 5y

Sace Drive was a great movie. I love my cave and I hate when I have to leave it. 😭 5y

Tonton @batsy Start with his Lew Griffith series！First one is The Long Legged Fly. Ex-teacher private eye/fixer on the loose in New Orleans. Also has another series (John Turner), first is Cypress Grove、I reviewed on Litsy. Lovely spare writing. (edited) 5y

batsy @Sace I feel you! 😆 I've heard lots of good stuff about Drive, I will watch it soon. 5y

batsy @Tonton Thank you! I'm making a list :) His writing is really something. 5y
