JON CLINCH

07/14/2010 7:00 pm
Three years after his debut novel, Finn, was published to high praise (the San Francisco Chronicle invoked 'his literary predecessors ... William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Cormac McCarthy, and Edward P. Jones' with his 'mythic styles'), Jon Clinch is here with a much-anticipated second novel, Kings of the Earth (Random House). "In Clinch's multilayered, pastoral second novel, a death among three elderly, illiterate brothers living together on an upstate New York farm raises suspicions and accusations in the surrounding community ... Family histories and troubles are divulged in short chapters by a cacophony of characters speaking in first person. Secrets and hidden alliances are revealed ... Inspired by the Ward brothers (of the 1992 documentary My Brother's Keeper), Clinch explores family dynamics in this quiet storm of a novel that will stun readers with its power."- Publishers Weekly.
