Rezension zu „Sketcher “
"A wonderfully joyous, eccentric first novel." The Times "A witty Mark Twain-like diversion that tells of superstition and mojo-conjuring among the swamp folk of the Bayou during the Reaganite 1980s." The Spectator "Part rambunctious tale of adolescence and part voodoo ghost story - a richly textured evocation of life in the Bayou, lush with fruitful descriptions and the tall tales of folklore." The Literary Review "If the broken parts of life cannot always be mended, most of it is still more than good enough, in these rollicking chronicles from the sticky side of Louisiana." The Independent "A funny, sad, atmospheric novel... Captivating and characterful." The Sunday Times "Funny, heartfelt and beguiling debut... The core strength of Sketcher is Skid's first-person account, told in colloquial Louisiana dialect. He is a funny and sharp observer, a bit of a wise-arse - part Scout Finch, part Huck Finn, part Bart Simpson - yet capable of stunning lyricism" The Bookseller
