Praise for The Brothers K The pages of The Brothers K sparkle.
By turns uproariously funny and deeply moving, and beautifully written throughout, The Brothers K is one of the finest chronicles of our lives in many years.
Four Brothers who come of age during the seismic upheavals of the sixties and who each choose their own way to deal with what the world has become.
A mother who clings obsessively to religion as a ward against the darkest hour of her past.
A father whose dreams of glory on a baseball field are shattered by a mill accident.
This touching, uplifting novel spans decades of loyalty, anger, regret, and love in the lives of the Chance family.
And in The Brothers K he tells a story both striking and in its originality and poignant in its universality.
David James Duncan, author of the novel The River Why and the collection River Teeth, is just such a writer.
