"In a biography of focus and fire, Dougherty portrays Elkin ... in all his courage, persistence, and molten creativity and makes an open-and-shutcase for Elkin's scouring, epoch-defining, and life-embracing books."--"Booklist"
"A thoroughly reliable portrait of a neglected novelist."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"A fine exploration of [Stanley Elkin's] complex personality."--"St. Louis Post-Dispatch""A very fine literary biography as well as an extremely impressive work of literary scholarship. Dougherty does a remarkable job of presenting Elkin's more challenging texts in accessible terms, while eloquently and insightfully telling the story of Elkin's persistence in creating literature against the context of his battle with physical afflictions. "Shouting Down the Silence" accurately depicts Elkin as the hero of American letters he always refused to acknowledge himself as being."--Peter J. Bailey, author of "Reading Stanley Elkin"
