Media Reviews
Graham has the subtle gift of being able to capture the run of a man's thoughts, and there is a lot of good dialogue and running jokes to keep you going. It's a rare skill to be able to make our average routines sound interesting and funny, and Graham adds a lot of fine touches - Joe's imaginary radio station, where the song selections mirror what is going on in his soul, is the best illustration of this technique. With it Graham marries surface and substance, creating a deft portrait of a man trying to keep his life together under extraordinary circumstances. readysteadybook.com review There's obvious feeling here along with distinct echoes that involve Joe's, and our, emotions... well worth a read.
