A look into one writer's origins and the importance of encountering the right book at the right time.
Fiction
"Hillbilly noir as literary fiction of the first order."
—Kirkus Reviews
"It wouldn’t be surprising if
Our Napoleon in Rags winds up attracting a cult following. Gann’s writing is dense and interesting; he seems to be conducting a one-man campaign to stamp out the cliché, that withered figure of speech which is such a mercenary part of the thin landscape of contemporary fiction...."
—Sonya Jones
“Gann has a great story to tell, one that is by turns sensuous, carnal, tender, and often brutal. With its original theme and beautiful, yet effortlessly composed language,
Parade makes a striking debut for a novelist of daring creativity and passion.”
—Edmund White
