“Darkly fiendish, wildly unsettling, and viciously good.” —Men’s Journal

In The Cadence of Grass, McGuane’s trademark combination of high wit, low behavior, and hard-won wisdom has never been on sharper or more moving display.

"[The] awfully stretched story lines wander perilously close to Florida baroque, but McGuane always knows when to back off and bring in the horses, snow, scenery, and brief moments of sanity to show the real and deeply appealing selves of Evelyn and her manly rancher...and all that excellent Big Sky country."

Kirkus, 03/15/2002

"Mr. McGuane's talent does shine through in the wonderful, pithy dialogue....He also displays his talent for loving descriptions of the outdoors....There is also a forced, exhausted quality to this book, as if Mr. McGuane didn't have the energy to fill in the gaps in the plot, and to flesh out his characters....He would do better to be tougher on himself as a writer and to put his considerable talents toward creating a story that has the inevitability of true art rather than relying on the same tired formulas...."
