Tupelo Nights

This book is great. John Ed does another great job. It is hard for me to pick a favorite.

Read it NOW

This book is incredible. As if Pat Conroy finally let us inside his psyche instead of simply relating his tormented history. It will make you uncomfortable, make you wish that the movie will never be made, but this is chewy chewy fiction, not to be missed, or dismissed. Absorb it now. Wow.

THIS BOOK IS GREAT

What a great book this is. Bradley's best, I think. I would put this book in the same league with some of Pat Conroy's best, but with a darker edge to it. A sad, lyrically prosed story that will stay in your mind long after you read it.

Underrated classic

I believe this is right up there with the best modern American fiction of the last 20 years. The prose is as poetic as Fitzgerald's and the plot is as tragic as any I have read. Was this his only novel and if so, why ?
