The Last Night Out (2018)
Catherine O'Connell
"A hell of a storyteller, a master of plot, and a tart observer of the social scene."
thumb
Edge of Nowhere (2010)
John Smelcer
"More psychological depth than Robinson Crusoe."
thumb
Eye of the Whale (2009)
Douglas Carlton Abrams
"Abrams writes with such polish, immediacy, and authority, you pause to admire his mastery of narrative."
