Edition Notes
At his best, Cullen Dorn is a poet, turning phrases as few writers can. In the early descriptions of the neighborhood, his prose is so vivid that the sounds, the smells, and the tastes crash off the page, soaking your senses; reading becomes experiencing. He is able to wed unusual words in such unlikely but appropriate pairings that they linger long after the first reading. Dorn is also a great story teller. He creates such real stories and such recognizable characters that you never realize he is choreographing their movements to make a deeper or more subtle point. The worth of this first novel is in its writing.
