Critics Review
“Barry Gifford was, is, and always shall be an American Original. His work evokes so many sensibilities, from the Beats to noir to social realism to postmodernism to cinematic, both stirring up ghosts and invoking the future. For those who haven’t had the pleasure, or for old friends catching up: Read this book.” - Richard Price, author of Clockers and The Wanderers
