Summary: Lordy, what a book!
Comment: Larry Brown knows how to reach into his guts and pull out stories so true they hurt. Big Bad Love is -- and I know this term is terribly overused -- a masterpiece. Each one of his books is a small, burning miracle: Joe; Father and Son; Facing the Music; Dirty Work; On Fire.

The man knows life and he knows how to write about it.

(By the way, if you like Larry Brown, try Barry Hannah. While they are different in style, each one plumbs the depths of the human soul in a way few other contemporary authors dare.)

Summary: Larry Brown a genius, Big Bad Love a masterpiece
Comment: Larry Brown is a genius who combines the rich Southern tradition of Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner with the intensely honest introspection of Charles Bukowski and Jim Thompson. Nearly always moving, often darkly hilarious, always involving, Big Bad Love is a masterpiece, ten stories of mind-shatteringly powerful fiction.

Summary: A masterpiece
Comment: This is an inspiring collection of shorts by Larry Brown. Rarely does he follow the typical short story plot curve, but the twists of events and dialog make this a real text in the art of short fiction. Mr. Brown reminds us of Carver, Bukowski and the rest of the "time to get out of Dodge in into the bar" great writers of recent times. An enjoyable read while sitting on a cooler, watching the sunset.
