Review
-The book rises or falls on the strength of Howard Elman, and this man could hold up a house. By turns tormented, funny, poignant and appalling, he lodges in the memory - and successfully launches the career of Ernest Hebert.- --New York Times Book Review
-The American dream goes belly-up in this brilliant, sensitive, and funny account of what it's like to be a disposable New England mill worker in the post-industrial economy.- --Mother Jones
-Hebert tells a story which is a triumph of spirit, skill, and imagination, a moving and oddly optimistic view of our times . . . not only a knowing picture of small-town life, but a human story in which each page offers some new insight into the human mind and heart.---Washington Post Book World
-To the list of splendidly crusty New Englanders created by the likes of John Gardner and John Cheever, add the name of Howard Elman, the protagonist of Ernest Hebert's impressive first novel . . . extremely readable and well-crafted.---Philadelphia Inquirer
