Media Reviews
'Gritty, sexy and moving...Brown is unafraid and unashamed to tell a whopping good story' George P. Pelecanos writing in the Washington Post. 'He has an ear for the way people talk, an eye for their habits and manners, a heart for their frailties and foibles, and a love for their struggles and triumphs' John Grisham. 'The chapters flash by like fenceposts on the highway as the novel rushes toward its shattering conclusion' Wall Street Journal. 'Father and Son is one of the very best novels of our time... Not since Dostoevky's The Brothers Karamazov has a novelist probed as deeply into the paternal condition' Washington Times. 'That Brown reminds you of Faulkner and of McCarthy...is a compliment to each' USA Today.
