Review:
"Spragg evokes these doomed characters and the land they inhabit with an achingly beautiful lyricism. Like Annie Proulx and Gretl Erhlich, he's a writer who makes Wyoming's high country so familiar it feels like the reader's own native ground." --"Chicago Tribune"
"Unforgettable. . . . A long love song to Wyoming and the tough, do-it-right-or-don't-do-it-at-all people who live there." --"Denver Post
"
"A unique, movingly detailed road map of the human soul." --"Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"
" "
"Full of smart troubled people, natural speech, wonderful, lyrical prose, and the great wide varied landscape of Wyoming, where good men and deep women play out their love-burdened lives. . . . Mark Spragg owns one of the truest and most natural voices in American letters." --Kent Haruf, author of" Plainsong"
"[A] pickup truck odyssey . . . lyrical one moment, gritty the next." --"St. Louis Post-Dispatch"
" "
"What at first seems to be a standard love story is soon revealed to be something much more epic--two hardened men, battling each other and their own demons in the bleak, unforgiving landscape of the West. [A] tale of obsession, desire and rage." --"The Washington Post"
"A refreshing stew of grit and intelligence, longing and loyalty. . . . Places Spragg firmly in the company of such Western writers as Cormac McCarthy and Wallace Stegner." --"Rocky Mountain News "
