Summary: Pearson- irreverent and irresistible!!!
Comment: T.R Pearson is a great author! He is both irreverent and irresistible! He captures the wit and wisdom of the true South with his exquisite satire and stunning colloquialisms. What happens when you put together a small town deputy, a child that vanishes and a "white-trash" porno addicted man who becomes an oracle of misplaced information and advice? It is nothing that you may imagine! Pearson takes you on an unbelievable wild ride of a story that is both funny and heart touching about life in a small Southern town, dysfunctional families and a search for innocence in a wonderful style all his own with an ending that will take you by surprise.

Summary: Pearson's Latest Packs Emotional Punch
Comment: Imagine my surprise--sitting in the waiting room at the Ford dealership while the 40,000 mile service was being completed, I'd brought along T R Pearson's Polar to finish. I assumed that I'd be chuckling aloud at Clayton the backwoods seer and Ray Tatum, the deputy we'd met in Blue Ridge. But Pearson caught me off guard, and there I was all misty eyed in the waiting room. He's not a writer who plays to sentiment at all--in fact, he's just the opposite. He's swinging the satirist's sharp blade most of the time, so that the uplands of Western Virginia become a cultural cross-section of contemporary America. There's humor in his slicing and some exasperation as well. But this is a novel about the tiny dollops of redemption that most of us have to make do with in this life, and when he's brought us to that realization, Pearson's one of the most affecting and effective writers going today. Polar continues the trend he established in Blue Ridge--a pared back style, a harder edge to his criticism--but this one has called for an emotional investment from the writer that he's held back for a while. He's worth every minute--read him.

Summary: read this guy
Comment: Lynn Hamilton has written a wonderful review of T. R Pearson's POLAR, something that gives us all an idea of what the book is about. What the book is about is not why I read this guy, though. I've read all of Pearson's books, and I look forward to a kind of roller coaster ride. The ride is part plot always, but the big part is riding Pearson's prose. For me, that prose is the greatest joy, and this writer is a master of sentences and paragraphs. What more can a reader ask for? If you have not read T. R. Pearson, it's high time you did.
