Honeymoon : And Other Stories

Rating:
Summary: A "Winesburg, Ohio" for our time
Review: Kevin Canty's style couldn't be more different from Sherwood Anderson's c. 1919 collection "Winesburg, Ohio," but that is the comparison that has stuck in my mind since reading "Honeymoon." Which is to say--"Honeymoon" will be a classic. These characters have secrets, they experience the kind of "adventures" that Anderson's characters do--i.e. the kind of adventure you can't tell anyone about afterward, either because it reveals too much about you or it's simply too difficult to find the words. I'll just say: Kevin Canty finds the words. Read this book! (Then reread "Winesburg, Ohio.")

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: Reading Kevin Canty, you know the world is an uneasy, dangerous place, and people are peculiar, jumpy beings. The stories in Honeymoon show what's behind the mask. It's a familiar world, you think. It's also a deeply unfamiliar world. The writing is exhilarating the way the best fiction is. Highly recommended.

Rating:
Summary: Entertained an A.D.D mind!
Review: This book was amazing. Suffering from A.D.D., it is hard for me to get into a book. THIS DID IT! Canty is amazing. I went on to read Into the great wide open. I recommend Honeymoon to anyone who loves fiction work. Plain and simple, this book is great. Click on the icon and order it.
