-Descripcion Original:

Review James Wade got our attention with his debut, All Things Left Wild, that existed in a world between western, crime fiction, and the end of days. He proves his talent wasnt a first-time fluke with his follow-up River, Sing Out. By setting up a simple crime fiction premise, he is able to delve deep into emotion and theme like a master bluesman with three chords. --BookPeople With echoes of Jim Harrison, Cormac McCarthy (and perhaps a smidge of Flannery OConnor), River, Sing Out is a beautiful, brutal meditation on survival and love in the face of nearly unspeakable violence and depravity in an East Texas community ravaged by the meth trade. Taut, lyrical, and precise, the prose soars in this important new novel by James Wade. --Elizabeth Wetmore, New York Times bestselling author of Valentine If you read one novel this year, make it this one. James Wades River, Sing Out, is an instant classic filled with characters that will break your heart, lyrical prose as haunted as the river it evokes, and a Southern Noir undertow that wholly sucks you in and keeps you turning the pages until its searing, masterful conclusion. --May Cobb, author of The Hunting Wives Wade, whose striking debut, All Things Left Wild (2020), traveled back a century in Texas history, uses an unlikely friendship to explore an equally wild present-day landscape...A haunting fable of an impossible relationship fueled by elemental need and despair. --Kirkus Reviews What lifts River Sing Out far beyond the ordinary is its exquisite, elegant writing which concisely confronts the ugly truth of rural poverty in American society. Souls are stripped bare with mesmerising intensity. The incessant rain, the oppressive heat and the river itself saturate the story. Author James Wade eloquently captures the brutal, beautiful reality of coming of age; first love, deceit, betrayal and rejection, and he weaves all these themes into a nail-biting plot that would do Hollywood proud. It can be hard-going at times as Wade explores just how bleak and brutal this world can be. Yet ultimately this is a celebration of the strength of the human spirit. It is relentless at times and it should be shocking, but River Sing Out also illustrates the strength of quiet conviction with poetic grace and understated compassion. If you admire the writing craft of James Lee Burke, Cormac McCarthy or Tim Gautreaux -- their ability to immerse the reader in a vivid landscape so powerful you can smell it -- then Wade is a new author to watch. --Murder, Mayhem and More This story is not just a story to be read. It is a story to be experienced...Although this is the first book by James Wade that I ve read, he has immediately become one of my favorite and most respected authors. If you believe in the magic of the written word and what can become of it, you need to read this story. You need to read this author. You will enjoy both very much! --The Clueless Gent A literary work of art, with exceptional characterization and philosophical prose guiding the story along the banks of the Neches...James Wade s writing is rhapsodic...This novel will not disappoint readers looking for thought-provoking fiction about love and affection conquering the mud and debauchery of life, even if for a little while. --Lone Star Literary Life River, Sing Out is a poetic, exceedingly descriptive gothic fiction of place and time, and even more pictorial of living a poor life in the deep East Texas woods...Roger Clark, the narrator, has a voice that is rich and expressive. A richness that makes a girl like me swoon. Clark s changing from the various characters even to a girl to a boy never broke its cadence. Without a doubt, Clark s voice conveys River, Sing Out into a phenomenally memorable story...It is a story that can take miles off your long drives or commutes. --Forgotten Winds This is a compelling and affecting story, spectacularly written and richly detailed with a descriptive atmosphere and r
