Dude, I don't think you'll ever read this but here it goes: i just bought Donnybrook. I'm from Costa Rica, btw, and just what I can tell you is goddam you know how to write. Your sentences are like fucking poetry. Seriously. TS Eliot would be proud. i'm not a prophet or anything, but in a few years, when people ask: "Who's the best living American novelist", your name is gonna pop up. Promise. Peace out.
ReplyDeleteHello from Wisconsin. While delving into southern gothic and country noir, I stumbled upon your work. Read Crimes and loved it. You seem to have carved out a style all your own, with some great characters and imagination rooted in reality. The countdown to the release of Donnybrook has been a nail biter for me, and now that it is here, I am going out of my skull not having read it yet. What a taste of that world Cold, Hard Love gave. You see, the problem is that I still like the physicality of books. I went and got the British hardcover of Crimes and have been waiting for a hardcover version of Donnybrook. It looks like one exists, but where to get it in the States? I was hoping you knew of a resource?
ReplyDeleteHi Frank,
ReplyDeleteI'm in San Diego. Problem is I've got a prior engagement on the 23rd that I can't escape. Can you do a second reading at the Abbey that week? Or the Cherrybomb? Great barfight potential there.
