Atticus: An Insightful and Interesting Novel
When I began reading Atticus I didn't realize I was going to be reading a mystery novel. If I had known it was a mystery novel I probably would have put the book back down. Atticus starts off rather slow with a bit too much detail about characters who have little ...

Lovely essays

Desperadoes
Ron Hansen
Harper Perennial
, 1997
Cinematic, smell-the-horses writing style
Desperadoes is a fictionalized account of the exploits of the Dalton gang, but it reads like the truth. Ron Hansen breathes life into these characters. Hansen's cinematic style put me in the moment. I could smell the nervous horses as Grat crept among them at night, ...

Reading Writer's Writers
Architects and contractors can usually spot a good house; engineers and mechanics know good cars. So too with stories. Want to read some good ones? Ask the people that create them. This concept makes sense to me and I don't think you'll be disappointed. I did not ...

What A Great Read!
Look, I don't know how much of the "novel" THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD is true; I don't know how much of the dialogue and interaction and actions of the characters actually took place, or were embellished by a very gifted Ron Hansen. ...

With stunning insight, Shepard creates a fictional history of the great filmmaker locating the roots of his mature genius in the forbidden passions of adolescence and young adulthood. One of the most compelling windows into artistic obsession and its erotic impetus I ...
