  <default-description>Winner of the 2008 AWP Award for the Novel (Robert Eversz, Judge), &lt;i&gt;We Agreed to Meet Just Here&lt;/i&gt; is a lyrical mystery about disappearance, told in precise and luminous prose. A young lifeguard in an Austin suburb vanishes one night while returning from a screening of &lt;i&gt;The Third Man&lt;/i&gt;. A doctor, ill with cancer, goes missing from his home, and is later seen, bearded and ragged, wandering the aisles of a grocery store. A car is stolen, the unseen consequences tragic. One child is given up to adoption, another is lost up a tree. The absences are so keenly felt, in the drifting lucidity of the author's sentences, that every reappearance reads like a small miracle.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I agree with other reviewers who absolutely loved the language in this book.  Some passages read like poetry, and evoke such clear imagery that you can fix the scene clearly in your mind.  I found some characters very compelling - others not so much - and the story was interesting, but scattered.  I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56418798">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great novel, with gorgeous scenery and some truly fabulous sentences.  I read whole passages aloud and felt lifted by the language.    <br/><br/>But I hear Blackwood is a questionable character . . . word on the street is that his past is bespeckled with inordinate malfeasances.
