The Natural Order of Things

Praise

“A dark and utterly compelling work with an unnervingly resonant vision of our present age. Excellent work by a fine young writer.” –Robert Olen Butler

“Reading The Natural Order of Things is like holding a tattered masterpiece in your hands– individually the pieces are their own small works of art but the true brilliance isn’t realized until you fit them together.”– J.W. Schnarr, author of Alice & Dorothy

“Here is Kevin Keating, rallying against that tired old complaint, “Where are the new American voices?” He writes with verve, knowing, and wit–an explorer of the thin but deep fissure between privileged Jesuit school boys and the scrape-by world that surrounds it.  Here, then, a wild exploration of the places and people that we wish we had the courage to begin. And now we can. Thanks to Kevin Keating’s vision.”–Michael Garriga, author of The Book of Duels

“A darkly brilliant, sometimes disturbing odyssey that lays bare the human condition.”–Barry Goodrich, Cleveland Magazine
