Paperback. Condition: New. Praise for Cynan Jones:"[A] piercing novella. . . . Like Cormac McCarthy, Jones can make the everyday sound fraught and biblical." Kirkus Reviews, starred review"Jones's perfectly pitched novel will appeal to anyone looking beyond sheer thrills." Library Journal"This slim volume has all the gravity of a black hole, and reading it is like standing on the event horizon. . . . It's like a more beautiful Cormac McCarthy; a darker W.H. Auden." Elliot Bay Book CompanyJones is a Welsh writer who has been compared to Cormac McCarthy, but his sparse style also recalls Ernest Hemingway." Kirkus, "Foreign Influence""There's nothing bucolic about this elemental, extraordinary tale of good and evil." Shelf AwarenessJones deftly explores his characters' motives, particularly the hope they cling to despite the risks they take." BooklistIt's as if the novel is the slowed-down spinning of a bullet through the grooves of a barrel, waiting to be released into the world." Vol. 1 BrooklynDarkly luminous . . . [Jones] builds tension in an ultimately gripping and important story that transcends its own bleakness." Library JournalWhen a net is set, and that's the way you choose, you'll hit it.
