Mr. Russell has created a wise, tender, and remarkably engrossing story about human affections--their power and illogic, their preciousness and unpredictability--and about how those affections flare and fare at the 'salt point.' "Bruce Bawer, The Wall Street Journal"
"The Salt Point" finds the sacred and poetic even in the slag heap of small-town America. "Edmund White"
Like one of the nastier Henry James novels, "The Salt Point" shows how very possible it is for all of its characters to do unspeakable harm to each other, without allowing themselves to know what they are doing. "Madison Smartt Bell, The Village Voice"
Russell moves his characters into various striking arrangements with one another as deftly as a chess master and writes about their longings with cool, evocative precision. "The Washington Post Book World""
