The Bookends Review of The Bitter Kind

Lovely review for BK in the Bookends Review:

"The book reminds me very much of Denis Johnson’s Train Dreams, not necessarily in the plot (though there are references to Train-Dreams-era frontier days), but in the experience. For me, very similar emotions were evoked—melancholia, longing, awareness of the mystical nature of the world—and the same sense of impossibility: how can such a little book hold so much of the human experience? . . . The Bitter Kind functions as a lightning rod for catharsis. The prose itself offers human connection with Stela and Brandy, Masih and Claffey, and any other solitary traveler of the imagination who happens to wander across its pages."
