Praise for William Kennedy
“Kennedy’s novels have the rough feel of stories told, not of chapters written and artfully polished. His beguiling yarns are the kind of family myths embellished and retold across a kitchen table late at night, whiskified, raunchy, darkly funny, tangles of old resentments and fresh exasperations.”—TIME
“Kennedy’s prose is swift and glib, intent upon creating sparks and surprises, and fully open to life’s magical touches, its haunts and ghostly discoveries.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“Kennedy is a writer with something to say, about matters that touch us all, and he does it with uncommon artistry.”—The Washington Post
“William Kennedy writes so melodiously about the Irish ruffians of old Albany, NY he could make Philip Roth wish he were Catholic.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Kennedy has maintained a high level of achievement throughout [his Albany Cycle], deftly blending comedy and drama as, over the years, he has painted a portrait of a single city perhaps unique in American fiction.”—The Washington Post
