Dave: IMG Jim Lynch Makes Landscape Art... Out of Text

3 comments By Dave

jimlynchIf Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"[A] dizzyingly imaginative first novel....In a slow, simmering style that melds Southern folklore with a gothic sensibility, Chapman concocts a powerful tale that is suspenseful and moving....Suffused with a compassion, the novel transcends its bizarre premise and suggests that the magic of literature can make sense of life." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"Buckle your seatbelt and lock the car doors; Clay Chapman's about to take you for a hair-raising ride." The New Yorker

Review:

"A morbid and lugubrious tale....Too pompous to be disgusting, this remains just a bore." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"Chapman vividly describes scenes of life and especially death. Miss Corpus contains some graphic passages, but the depth of emotion reached by the characters moves the novel along at cruising speed." Amy Coffin, TheBookHaven.com
