Review:
Praise for Backlands
“McGarrity writes about the landscape of the American Southwest with loving detail and rough-hewn eloquence, but he is equally good here with the human stories and the historical backdrop....[it] claims our emotions much in the manner of Ivan Doig’s similarly heartfelt historical fiction.”—Booklist
“McGarrity knows New Mexico, and it shows with his authentic descriptions from transcendent beauty to parched ugliness. The Roaring Twenties, the dust bowl years, the Great Depression, and the years of World War II are conveyed with truth.”—Genrefluent
Further praise for Michael McGarrity and for Hard Country
