Items related to The Cadence Of Grass
The Whitelaw patriach, Sunny Jim, exerts his perverse control even in death, by means of a will that binds the family fortune to a marriage that ought to be rent asunder. The charms of this particular son-in-law, lately released from prison, are potent, especially as regards his estranged wife.

Review:
"The vivid characterisations of his snapshot prose remain startlingly original and exact... Chilling, bleak, and resonant. McGuane is an inventive writer, and a gifted stylist" (Guardian)
"I don't know of another writer who can walk Thomas McGuane's literary high wire...He can describe the sky, a bird, a rock, the dawn, with such grace that you want to go see for your self; then he can zip to a scene so funny that it makes you laugh out loud" (New York Times Book Review)
"One of America's most important literary writers, whose prose style has been compared to such American sensibilities as Hemingway and Faulkner" (Los Angeles Herald Examiner)
"One of the most original American novelists on either side of the Mississippi" (Time)

"One of the most original American novelists on either side of the Mississippi" (Time)
A magnificent new novel about the American West – a mixture of savage comedy and an elegy for what has been lost – from one of America’s great writers.
