Description
Trade Review"
The Full Cleveland is a sharp, wry, sometimes insane portrait of a supersized Catholic clan living in the suburbs circa 1970. The writing is eagle-eyed, both indicting and forgiving, the characters rich and resonant. Terry Reed is a fresh and vivid voice on the American scene." -- Richard Price, author of
Samaritan and
Clockers"A keenly observed, passionate tale....Terry Reed sees the wonder, the pain, the fragile pleasures and bittersweet humor of growing up. This is a remarkable debut." -- Michael Grant Jaffe, author of
Whirlwind and
Dance Real Slow"Miss Reed has ascended in a rare flight of fancy and written an American family that works. It is a lyrical and sweet-natured and properly eccentric novel that delivers on all of its promises." -- Richard Ford, author of
A Multitude of Sins and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction
