`Vann's gift - his quest, almost - is a willingness to explore the unimaginable, the unthinkable, on the page. He is the real thing - a mature, risk-taking and fantastically adept fiction writer who dares go to the darkest places, explore their most appalling corners.' * Observer * 'What endures the most from this novel is the sense of desperation that emerges from its central character-a feeling that's at once profoundly alienated from everything and everyone around it and heartbreakingly tactile. A moving portrait of a family dealing with loss before it happens and of the harrowing ways depression can disrupt countless lives.' * Kirkus * `Disturbing and haunting...David Vann excels at writing about the darkest side of the human heart.' * Denver Post * `Vann is one of the most thrilling writers to emerge in the past decade.` * Australian * `His prose is as clear, fresh and invigorating as a starry winter night on an Aleutian mountainside.' * The Times * `One of the most darkly talented and unsettling writers working today.' * Guardian *
