The Widow's Boy

I don't know of anyone handling the American language with a hotter torch than what Dev Hathaway uses in his best stories. Even in some of the decidedly uncompromising, shall we say unconventional, stories, I keep reading, just to hear the electricity sizzle, to smell the sparks. -- Rick Bass Dev Hathaway is the David Lynch of short fictioneers, in possession of a magician's hat full of voices and illusions. Secret, strange feelings, their phrasing classical or jazzy, together produce a tone of all-abiding serenity, like what you hear in ballads and legends. -- Bob Shacochis
