Reviews

Like finding yourself back in the arms of old friends. It’s why I saved the book for so long, because I knew it was going to be so good to savor: my two favorite McCarthy characters, Billy Parham and John Grady Cole, together at last. Too good to be true. It never goes huge in scope. It stays small, which is perfect. And the epilogue veers a little unnecessarily, but who could care less? I’d sit and listen to John Grady and Billy talk all day long, and that’s what the rest of the book is.

(It also makes me sad, that William Gay passed without pairing up Nathan Winer and Fleming Bloodworth. Oh, what a book that would be too.)
