Annie Proulx recommends
Baltimore's Mansion (1999)
Wayne Johnston
"Wayne Johnston is a brilliant and accomplished writer, and his Newfoundland... is vivid and sharp."
Augusta Locke (2006)
William Haywood Henderson
"Some of the most evocative and transcendently beautiful prose in contemporary American literature."
The Nightingale Won't Let You Sleep (2017)
Steven Heighton
"This book won’t let the reader sleep… a rich and disturbing literary thriller."
The Eight Mountains (2018)
Paolo Cognetti
"A fine book, a rich, achingly painful story that is made for all of us who have ever felt a hunger for the mountains. Few books have so accurately described the way stony heights can define one's sense of joy and rightness. And it is an exquisite unfolding of the deep way humans may love one another."
Presidio (2018)
Randy Kennedy
"Here is a rich and rare book. Reader, if you like poor Texas boys gone bad (or not bad enough), landscapes so accurate in detail you feel you grew up there, coldly logical Mennonite girls with outcast Manitoban-Mexican papas, magnetic details about old cars, the finer points of an automobile-thieving, and a magisterial use of italics you will want to read this novel through twice in a row as I did. It is a hard picture of the choices offered to poor Texas youths in the 1960s and ’70s. You might say it shakes out as a weird combination of Canterbury Tales, Breaking Bad and À la recherche du temps perdu with a dash of Confederacy of Dunces, but it is brilliantly original. You will laugh, you will cry and you will read it again straight through to enjoy the fine points of marvelous writing. There is nothing out there like Presidio."
Drive your Plough over the Bones of the Dead (2018)
Olga Tokarczuk
"A writer on the level of W.G.Sebald."
