Review
New York Times Book Review"
Washington Post"
Whole Earth Review"
." . . Caught in a net of glossy lies and suppressed information (kept secret by Exxon for use in upcoming, private lawsuits), the residents respond to the spill with tears and nausea. His [Keeble's] novelist's eye searches steadily for small bright spots of courage and determination to counterbalance the evasion and environmental devastation. . . . Because Keeble confronts Exxon's deceptions with childlike wonder rather than hardened rancor, we leave this book with the hopeful feeling that a new start might still be possible."--Rick Bass, The Los Angeles Times
"Mr. Keeble's ability to find ironies in catastrophe may be his greatest contribution to the tanker of words spilled over the Exxon Valdez."--Timothy Egan, New York Times Book Review
"[Keeble] is surely right . . . in lamenting the public's failure to heed the spill as a call to re-examine our national oil addiction. The Gulf War has offered us a harrowing second chance, and Out of the Channel stands as a powerful exhortation against missing it."--Dennis Drabelle, Washington Post
"A grave and intelligent account of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. John Keeble's astute observation, not just of the scene, but of its historical and moral surround, is far more than reportage. His rendering of an occurrence that was covered sensationally and incoherently by mass media is a great service; his decent, careful treatment of Captain Hazelwood's role in the spill is alone worth the book."--Stephanie Mills, Whole Earth Review
