About this title

Review:

'Gay is a writer of remarkable talent... The Long Home promises to be one of the most discussed Southern debuts since Brown's Facing the Music in 1988.' The New York Times Book Review 'Just when it seemed that the superb writers of the US south could no longer surprise... along comes this astonishing, dark, offbeat novel possessing equal measures of weirdness and beauty... Gay's vivid prose and dramatic instinct create lasting images and human moments of genius. This is a far bigger book than many novels twice its size, and it deserves its place in a rich tradition.' Irish Times
