Hester Among the Ruins (2002) Binnie Kirshenbaum "A rare and remarkable writer." | Suspension (2006) Robert Westfield "A beauty of a book." | Matrimony (2007) Joshua Henkin "In the tradition of John Cheever and Richard Yates ... a novel about love, hope, delusion, and the intricate ways in which time's passage raises us up even as it grinds us down. It's a beautiful book. Here's to its brilliant future." | |
