NBCC member fiction finalist David Leavitt’s pick for the NBCC Good Reads Spring 2008 list, recommendations by NBCC members, awards winners and finalists:
Marshall N. Klimasewiski, “Tyrants.”
“Tyrants” is a collection of great range and breadth and imagination. Like Alice Munro, Klimasewiski writes stories on a novelistic scale, encompassing great swaths of history while carrying the reader all over the world—sometimes in a balloon.—David Leavitt
