I mentioned Doolittle's latest a few months back. What a
terrific read. I haven't read "Dirt," but liked "Burn" a lot,
too. I think Doolittle's got a long career ahead of
him.
And anyone here who's met him will likely agree, he's a
pretty nice guy, too.

I've seen Sean's short fiction in PWG and spotted
his title from
UglyTown. There's been some discussion of his
work recently on
the list.
This is the first novel of his I've read. Wow. An
impressive,
first-rate read. His characterization (including
a romance) and
setting (rural Nebraska) are dead on. The title
concerns an
ex-reporter from Chicago returning home to run
his late
grandfather's canoe/outdoor expedition camp. Our
hero runs into
local nasties including a vicious deputy sheriff.
The pacing is
smart and the dialogue is seamless. The narrative
stays on
course and doesn't drift. IMHO, one of the best
books I've read
this year.
