"In The Shooting, James Boice offers a timely and scathing indictment of our current gun-happy culture, cross-cutting hearts and minds in his incomparable take-no-prisoners style. Another stunner from Boice." --Elizabeth Crane, author of The History of Great Things "Finding James Boice has been a revelation for me. His hard-bitten prose flies off the page at you like the cracking of a machine gun..." --Tony O'Neill, author of Sick City "James Boice's sentences crack like hot electric bullwhips across the backs of America's demons." --Christopher Ransom, author of The Birthing House "Boice's prose grabs you and never lets go." --Orlando Sentinel "[James Boice] masterfully employs a style all his own." --Boston Magazine "There's a jittery brilliance... [James Boice] has considerable stylistic flair." --Kirkus Reviews
