Customer Reviews

Stellar Debut

Reviews have compared Mr. Maddocks to Alice Munro and Russell Banks. Not bad company and well deserved, as these stories are rich with detail and nuance, full of humour and heartbreak. Sputnik Diner is brilliant, pure and simple. Destined to become a classic, and hopefully just the beginning of an illustrious career for Rick Maddocks.
