so-soMy first reading of the written works of Larry Brown. His stories have been described as “gritty” and “real”. Definitely agree with those descriptions. Favorite stories in this collection are “Tiny Love”, “Sleep”, & “A Roadside Resurrection.” Trigger warnings for racial slurs, sexism, & drunk driving. These stories may not be what I am used to reading, but there are elements of brilliance in the prose. #LibraryThingEarlyReviewer #AlgonquinBooks
pickThe problem with falling behind on ARCs is that I often feel guilty for not reading them before the publication date and end up buying a copy. In this case, I bought the audiobook, which I really enjoyed. There‘s a decent mystery here, and I like the main character and most of the secondary characters. The pseudo-psychology bugged me, though, and the ending was too tidy, but over all I‘d give it somewhere between 3 - 4 stars.
Happy news in my email today. Looking forward to receiving and reading this!
