The Master's First Work

Mr. Davis, like a Turgenev transferred from 19th century Russia to the climbs of modern day Seattle, humorously and powerfully charts the ups and downs of a struggling playwright, struggling in love, work, with the pure disarray of life itself. Davis' prose, from scenes set at his favorite tavern, 'The Comet,' to the racetrack, to the great wilderness beyond the city, emulates the old Bob Dylan dictum that each line should exist as a song in itself, and indeed it does. A crime that it was not nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature in the year of its creation, don't let its wonders elude you. Buy, beg, borrow or steal your copy of 'A Comet In The City.'
