Frederick Busch (1941–2006) was the recipient of many honors, including an American Academy of Arts and Letters Fiction Award, a National Jewish Book Award, and the PEN/Malamud Award. The prolific author of sixteen novels and six collections of short stories, Busch is renowned for his writing’s emotional nuance and minimal, plainspoken style. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he lived most of his life in upstate New York, where he worked for forty years as a professor at Colgate University.
"A damn good book . . . the sort that gets you quickly in its grip
and keeps you there."
-The Washington Post Book World
"The much-anticipated sequel to Girls . . . With his spare, lyrical
style straight out of Hemingway and Chandler, Frederick Busch has
crafted another smart, big-hearted country noir."
-Stewart O'Nan, author of The Good Wife and The Night Country
"Busch's superb prose is mesmerizing; he evokes Jack's psychic
turmoil perfectly with expert language. . . . a provocative look at
one man's demons unleashed."
-Baltimore Sun
"With the restraint of a master storyteller, Busch unfolds before
us a tightly spun tale of past secrets and sadnesses. . . . a
tender and tough and wonderful book."
-Elizabeth Strout, author of Amy and Isabelle and Abide with Me
"A beautifully composed detective story."
-New York Sun
