“McFarland is a Divine Watchmaker of a novelist.” —Newsweek “McFarland is a captivating literary prose stylist who is not afraid to play with a plot device. In all of McFarland’s novels, though, it is the mystery of character that ultimately drives and deepens the story.” “McFarland is heir to the great Southern literary tradition, and his observations, however somber in import or lyrical in delivery, are always laced with a splendid appreciation of life’s absurdities.” —The Wall Street Journal “Dennis McFarland is a wonderfully gifted writer.” “A writer of extraordinary sympathy and compassion—a sympathy and compassion that are remarkably free from sentimentality.” —The Boston Sunday Globe |
