In a League of it's Own

This is a truly amazing effort. There a very few modern authors that manage to have a genuine voice. I was astonished at Patrick Hegarty's ability to blend insight, honesty, humor, and literary accumen. I cannot remember the last time I was moved ny a book and impressed by it at the same time. I look forward to Mr. Hegarty's next effort and I will sing the praises of this book until I am hoarse.

Poignant and Provocative

The Dazzle of the Light is a poignant and provocative tale of one man's journey after the death of his older brother. The main character refuses to accept the platitudes of others and wants to face his grief head on. The book reminds me of early Hermann Hesse, a bildungsroman in which we follow the progress of one character over the course of the novel. Lyrical, funny, bittersweet, eventually uplifting. The Dazzle of the Light is a great read.
