Trade Review
Novelist Kinder pours out sudden, undomesticated, melancholy word songs from his home place, where he’s returned to gather stories for stewing in his imagination and memory.""- Kirkus Reviews

""Colorful enough to inspire Michael Douglas' character, Grady Tripp, in the movie Wonder Boys, Kinder starts with the most interesting West Virginian available: himself."" - Alan Moores Booklist

""Sparks fly, plans are hatched, threats are made, and a lot of legally questionable activity is engaged in, and Kinder's fine prose relates it all."" - Publishers Weekly
