Pat Conroy recommends
A World Made Of Fire (1984) Mark Childress "A wonderful and powerful novel... a novelist of astonishing gifts." | Cold Sassy Tree (1984) Olive Ann Burns "A hilarious and passionate book... One of the best portraits of small town Southern life ever written." | Long Distances (1988) Fabienne Marsh "This book is pure magic. I loved reading every page of it. Long Distances is the brilliant debut of a superb new writer." |
A Stranger's House (1988) Bret Lott "Bret Lott is an important artist... A beautifully crafted novel." | Big Bad Love (1989) Larry Brown "Larry Brown writes like a force of nature!" | Domestic Pleasures (1991) Beth Gutcheon "Few in America write as well about marriage, divorce, and the family ties which both unite and torture us all. She's in a league by herself." |
The Invisible Circus (1995) Jennifer Egan "If there were justice in the world, no one would be allowed to write a first novel of such beauty and accomplishment." | Valley of the Shadow (1998) Charlotte Hughes "Charlotte Hughes is the real thing." | Special Kay: The Wisdom of Terry Kay (2000) Terry Kay "The perfect writer for those who love to read." |
Prague (2002) Arthur Phillips "Prague is one of those rare books that help define and identify a whole generation, in the same way that Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises introduced his own lost generation." | Desert Places (2004) Blake Crouch "Terrific... harrowing... a whacked-out combination of Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy." | Sweetgrass (2005) Mary Alice Monroe "Mary Alice Monroe is helping to redefine the beauty and magic of the Carolina Lowcountry. Every book she has written has felt like a homecoming to me." |
Pawley's Island (2005) (Lowcountry Tales) Dorothea Benton Frank "Hilarious and wise." | The King of Lies (2006) John Hart "The King of Lies moves and reads like a book on fire... An amazing new talent." | Sweetsmoke (2008) David Fuller "Sweetsmoke is a fascinating and gripping novel about the Civil War. The slave, Cassius Howard, is a great fictional character, and his story is part mystery, part love story, and a harrowing portrait of slavery that reads with the immense power of the slave narratives. A tour de force for David Fuller." |
