Reviews for The Cove
Rash tells great stories, raw and powerful ... He understands the way life works
Irish Times
An unmitigated joy to read
Independent on Sunday
Ron Rash is the best American novelist I have come upon in the last twenty years
Scotsman
Exquisite. A breathless sequence of events lead the book to its devastating final sentence
New York Times
Recalls both Steinbeck and Cormac McCarthy
New Yorker
The Cove is a novel that speaks intimately to today's politics. Beautifully written, tough, raw, uncompromising, entirely new. Ron Rash is a writer's writer who writes for others
Colum McCann Ron Rash is a writer of both the darkly beautiful and the sadly true; The Cove solidifies his reputation as one of our very finest novelists
Richard Russo, author of EMPIRE FALLS When writers gather and tipple while discussing those not present at the table but admired, the name Ron Rash quickly comes up. He uses language wiith such apparently effortless skill that it is as though he found words in his barn as a child and has been training them to fit his needs ever since. There's not much he doesn't know about humans in turmoil, or his region, a place where nothing ever changes until all of a sudden it does and often too much. Rash throws a big shadow now and it's only going to get bigger
Daniel Woodrell, author of WINTER'S BONE The Cove is a marvelous novel, bristling with power, humanity and the exceptional quality of characterisation and storytelling we have come to expect from Ron Rash
Irvine Welsh Remarkable . . . Mr. Rash certainly knows how to rivet attention
