“Knopf has a touch I like – cool, careful, reflective – and a great ear for the comic eccentricities of the human voice.” –Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times“Two Time is delightful. We forget, with all the emphasis on Long Island money, that it used to be farmland, populated by working-class people. Knopf works the conflicts and changes into the setting, and his characters will have readers returning.”–The Globe and Mail“It is difficult to imagine this is only Knopf’s second novel – it is pure gold. Everything about it (characters, plotting, setting) is brilliant.”–Library JournalPraise for The Last Refuge:“The characters are such original oddballs and their conversation so bracing that you want to kick off your shoes and spend some time on the porch with them, just taking in the view and enjoying the talk.” –The New York Times“There’s a definite whiff of Elmore Leonard here, particularly in the snappy dialogue and the colorful characters.”–Publishers Weekly“Though the mystery drives the plot, it’s Sam’s rediscovery of himself in middle age that is the real focus in this accomplished debut novel. He is definitely a writer to watch.” –BooklistFrom the Trade Paperback edition. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
