Reviews
"Banks poses many questions, and his canvas is far larger than any thumbnail sketch of its components can suggest." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Without sentimentalizing them in the least, Banks has extended the themes explored in his previous novels . . . to show that wiser, possibly even better people can emerge from the ordeal: that some old American decencies still prevail, against all the odds." -- Chicago Tribune "A novel of compelling moral suspense . . . [a] superb book . . . a remarkable book, a sardonic and compassionate account of a community and its people." -- Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review "A finely observed portrait of small town life . . . It's as though he has cast a large stone into a quiet pond, then minutely charted the shape and size of the ripples sent out in successive waves . . . It is often gripping, consistently engaging and from time to time genuinely affecting." -- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times "Mr. Banks's colorful characters are so believable they could have stepped out of the Rendez-Vous tavern across from the Bide-A-Wile motel . . . The Sweet Hereafter is rich in imagery and the detail of small-town life and haunting in its portrayal of ordinary men and women struggling to understand loss. Under Mr. Banks's restrained craftsmanship, what begins as the story of senseless tragedy is transformed into an aspiring testament to hope and human resilience." -- Atlanta Constitution "Russell Banks's fiction holds such a simple, internal authority . . . The story he tells is grave and unusually urgent, his prose as careful as a trail of stones left in the forest . . . These voices ache with a particular brand of reality [and] Banks evokes each of his characters with fluid authenticity . . . Russell Banks is a writer of extraordinary power." -- Boston Globe "The Sweet Hereafter . . . is a close and haunting story of a small town in distress . . . unflinching and quietly powerful." -- Mirabella "This beautifully written book's most brilliant strategy is . . . to explore the complexity of grief and hope." -- Vogue

CD's are always a little tricky packing up and shipping out. I have learned a lot over the years and feel I have come up with a very reliable and cost-effective way of doing so. Thank you very much for noticing ;) and I really appreciate the feedback it is very reaffirming. Take care and have a great weekend.

  • I’ll just say this...books are better than movies.

    A novel is more telling and revealing than a movie adaptation. This book has more to offer the theater of the mind than the movie.
