Industry Reviews "Last year Michael Parker's first novel, 'Hello Down There', reminded appreciative reviewers of every Southern writer from Faulkner to Reynolds Price. His new collection of six novellas and short stories is every bit as good. As in his novel, Mr. Parker writes here evocatively of rural and small-town eastern North Carolina and of the struggles of wonderfully odd and convincing characters trying to lead normal lives even when circumstances have obviated Plan A and now are whittling away at Plan B." New York Times Book Review - Kathryn Morton (08/21/1994)
