Description
Book Synopsis“Robert Vivian's prose is lyrical and harrowing - harrowing in the Biblical sense,” Sven Birkerts said of
The Mover of Bones, the first book in Vivian's Tall Grass Trilogy. That same lyrical power carries this new volume to a place of hard-won hope and redemption at once both spiritual and earthly.
Trade Review"Vivian is a latter-day Faulkner set loose with no editorial restraints, so there is no need to suspend your disbelief for this story. You can only go along for the brilliantly written ride, full of sound and fury that signifies little but moves us intensely."
—Publishers Weekly"This spare and powerful work by the author of
The Mover of Bones will find a select audience with literary fiction fans."—Ann H. Fisher,
Library Journal"
Lamb Bright Saviors delivers a powerful story within its mere 185 pages. Calling upon the vast prairies of the physical landscape and the crowded alleys of the human mind, Robert Vivian guides us through the possibilities of failure and redemption in a profound yet immensely readable novel."—Christy Corp-Minamiji,
Blogcritics"Robert Vivian's novel has more than enough plot to satisfy. . . . The real star here is Vivian's use of language, poetic and rich, which makes an apocalyptic story that takes place in a small room become almost biblical in proportion."—Kel Munger, newsreview.com
"This profound character study is a terrific look into the souls of six people seeking redemption. . . . The novella contains a stark Nebraska atmosphere that enhances the story line."—Harriet Klausner,
Midwest Book Review"Robert Vivian writes with an eye for detail and an ear for music, composing stories from sentences as shapely as Baroque scrollwork and fun as a carnival ride."—Kelly Lenox, powells.com
