title: Mountains of the Moon: A Novel
author:  I. J. Kay 
description: &#160;<br>&ldquo;Merciless and penetrating . . . a difficult and disturbing novel, a wormy nightmare pitched between hard covers. If there are&#160;Stieg Larsson-like moments, they emerge from a prose style that owes more to William Faulkner and&#160;Cormac McCarthy. Ms. Kay&rsquo;s utterances here are colloquial, bumpy, bordering on stream-of-consciousness. They often seem to be scratched onto a can with a rusty nail. . . . An unsentimental yet intensely moving portrait.&rdquo;&mdash;Dwight Garner, <i>The New York Times</i><br><br>&#160;<br>&ldquo;Like William Faulkner&rsquo;s famously demanding novels . . . multiple readings would be needed to pick up on everything Ms. Kay is doing, but even on my first time through, <i>Mountains of the Moon</i> was one of the most challenging and impressive novels I&rsquo;ve read all year.&rdquo;&mdash;Sam Sacks, <i>The Wall Street Journal</i><br><br>&#160;<br>&ldquo;Imaginative, playful and fresh . . . Because of the book&rsquo;s theme of overcoming a tragic past, it may appeal to fans of Stieg Larsson. It will also be of interest to those who enjoy experimental fiction, unique voices and prose that intertwines with a story&rsquo;s landscape.&rdquo;<br>&mdash;<i>Huffington Post</i>
