Review
Praise for James Wilcox:
‘Wilcox is a highly polished comic performer.’
Observer
‘Wilcox has a sophisticated control of pace, his humour the chill of home truth, and his squibs at the expense of small-town America are rarely off-target.’
Jim Crace, TLS
‘It’s not easy to write a really original novel... Yet Wilcox manages to do just that in his very funny book, MODERN BAPTISTS.’
Daily Telegraph
