PRAISE FOR CLYDE EDGERTONHow good it feels to throw back one's head and howl with a great comic novel. The 'burial tuck' alone should make The Bible Salesman a classic. - David SedarisA vivid and affecting portrait of the way many of us struggle -- and, when possible, take comfort -- in the real world. - PEOPLE on Lunch at the PiccadillyAn American treasure...Edgerton's literary line goes back straight as an arrow to the likes of Sherwood Anderson and Mark Twain. - SAN DIEGO TRIBUNE on In Memory of JuniorWhimsical, utterly original, ultimately brilliant novel of small-town North Carolina and Vietnam. - THE LOS ANGELES TIMES on The Floatplane NotebooksSplendid...what James Thurber might have written had he lived in North Carolina. - THE WASHINGTON POST on RaneyLike all of Clyde Edgerton's work, The Night Train has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, but what I love most about this novel is its hard-earned hopefulness that if music can change, perhaps hearts can as well. - Ron Rash, author of Serena (PEN/Faulkner Award finalist) and Burning Bright (winner of the Frank O'Connor Award)The Night Train will sure enough get us clear of the shucks and the dread. It is a book to remind us all about the possibilities in life, no matter what side of the track
