The Daredevils

Praise for Gary Amdahl “Amdahl is one whose gifts are staggering and hard-won. The stories relate, by the way of guts through grace, the wholeness of a novel too good for mere philosophy. Gary Amdahl knows sports, men, women, and dogs, thank God, so thoroughly as to make them myth. Camus comes to mind: thought with extreme muscle.” –Barry Hannah Praise for Visigoth: “Although rich in anger and brutality, the stories collected in Visigoth are told with charm and a ranging, passionate intelligence.” – Ken Kalfus “Gary Amdahl’s vivid stories are at once lyrical and unexpectedly in your face… A book we’ll remember.” – Thomas McGuane “The men… range from lotharios… to hockey jocks… But in Amdahl’s highly literary, tragicomic vision, they melt our doubting hearts.” – Elle Magazine “These are smart, fully realized stories – sensitive, layered and deliberate … there’s something freeing, refreshing, about Amdahl’s voracious, inappropriate Visigoths.” – The Los Angeles Times
