NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST
“Mark Smith is a writer who, like Thomas Wolfe has a gift: the magical ability to transmute familiar and trivial elements of live into images of distinction, rarity and fascination.” –Philadelpha Bulletin
“Only Saul Bellow’s The Adventures of Augie March . . .can rival Mark Smith for visceral engagement with the place. His descriptions of the city are relentlessly inventive, filled with mixed emotions . . . Always counterpoised against Chicago’s industrial dreariness is its irrepressible vitality, the beauty of its soaring skyscrapers, and its setting on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. . . (the novel’s) stylistic richness is simply extraordinary.” –Times Literary Supplement
“Mark Smith as emerged as one of the most ambitious, original and thoughtprovoking novelists writing today.” –Chicago Daily News
