Review

Howard Normanauthor of "The Bird Artist" and "In Fond Remembrance of Me"Like a gazetteer of a singular existence, "About Grace" is worldly -- it takes place in Alaska, Ohio, the Caribbean -- yet the story and its unusual hero, David Winkler, right away become fixed in a reader's attentions and stay there. "About Grace" is full of exacting dreams, marvelous incident, tragicomic underpinnings, and a dedication to the fundamental eccentricity of life. With the stories in The Shell Collector, we discovered a writer of immense talent; this novel gives us a sense that Mr. Doerr may become an indispensable one.
