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



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:

"This remarkable debut novel takes as its subject two states of being at the extremities of the human condition: the horror of war (the living dead) and the ecstasy of religious vision (the dead shall live again). In the Company of Angels embraces both holocaust and resurrection, polarities of despair and hope that strain the outer limits of our imagining....To read Kelby's novel is, in its own words, to "fall into a dream, a flying dream." And to paraphrase and summarize such finespun fiction must inevitably be as inadequate as any attempt to retell your most amazing dream the morning after." Diana Postlethwaite, New York Times Book Review

Review:

"Kelby's spare, elliptical prose effectively brings these moments to light, infusing the emotionally and spiritually loaded subject matter with an uncommon intimacy. Saints and Nazis may make strange bedfellows, but Kelby rises to the challenge with considerable command in a haunting debut that erodes the distinctions between waking and dreaming, faith and reason, life and death." Publishers Weekly
