 CHABLIS Domestic Impasse: Our first-person narrator lets it be known quite emphatically he is happy remaining a husband and father (he has an almost 2-year-old baby girl), rather than becoming a husband, father and dog-owner. But, damn, his wife says " Read more of this review » |

| Beth Macy has a poet's gift for words, and she always--ALWAYS--finds and takes us to the truth. PAPER GIRL is wise, gritty, heartfelt, moving, smart, and most important, an absolutely fascinating read. ...more | |

“When you really want something, when you lust, seek, desire, await, anticipate or expect, when you sit in front of the TV after the late news twirling a plastic spoon in a bowl of lukewarm skim milk and saturated puffs of Special K, praying for nine or so hours to pass so that you can check the morning mail to see if the college accepted, the one-night stand wrote, the tax refund arrived or Publisher's Clearing House made you the winner of a dream house in Wisconsin, when you're really looking forward to something, that's when Fortuna dispatches a couple of her handmaidens to drop a load of shit on you.”

Please remind me in July if I forget, and if you're of a mind to read it, I'll send you the new one...or have Knopf get a copy to you. That would be great, and show the folks in Gotham that I'm not just wandering around on here, wasting time, cutting my own trails, and only making friends with bourbon drinkers, fellow anglers, dog owners, Larry Brown fans and people who like Miss Welty. Cheers--MFC
Thank you for the friendship Martin. Your books actually do sound very appealing to me and their reviews are marvelous. Great job! The legal genre once was all that I read back in my poli-sci days; I've just spread out into publisher's requests over the past year. It brings different flavors to my bookshelves. Mackey St.
