Review title: Contemporary Realism from the New, New South
Product review: Imagine Joseph Conrad. Imagine Joseph Conrad influenced by Octavio Paz and Reinhold Niebuhr with some of the Southern storytelling gifts of Pat Conroy sprinkled about. Imagine Joseph Conrad with these influences and a good sense of psychopharmacology, Vietnam and the 1960s. I'm being grand and playful, but Discovering the World is more grand and playful. Though its landscape is primarily American, its vision draws more from European and Latin visions. It has reach. It has spirit. Like its novella's central character, Robert C. Fitzgerald, it navigates the globe. It discovers. We discover. Read it.-David Kranes, author of Low Tide in the Desert, and The National Tree.
