Bell 8

By Rick Lyons

"Rarities: a book populated by real human beings, living real human lives in a real world; a world in which the simple, stifled cries of ordinary suffering and ordinary exaltation move with the music of an authentic and original voice. Rick Lyon has brought forth a disarming, compelling, and finally startling work, precise, illuminating, moving."--C.K. Williams

Customer Reviews

Essex

If you like The Spoon River Anthology check out this book, whose relaxed but timeworn speaker maps a piece of the world in long lines that limn portraits and landscapes effortlessly and indelibly. Buy it for the stories, the tough-mindedness. Buy it for the wonderful syntax, really. Lyon's long sentences, filled with masterly digressions, are a joy to read.
