While he does sort of fit the Michigan writer cliche of an epicurean, hard-drinking Northman, he also writes cogently on Rilke, Cioran, obscure Russian poets like Yesenin, and is equally adept at poetry, formal p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/407881">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Marvelous landscapes and for the authors deep knowledge and love of the outdoors. Great scenes of Mexico. And notable for the complete amorality of its characters and in particular its narrator. It was as if the characters and narrator had never even thought &quot;maybe there's something wrong with ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1387422">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this in my late teens, and despite a crush on Brad Pitt at the time, I really liked these three novellas.
