The Dropper

"Ron McLarty, who has proven himself a terrific storyteller in such books as The Memory of Running and Traveler, has outdone himself with The Dropper, a story where beauty and brutality mingle in a yarn I just couldn't put down.� This book is filled with rich pleasures and textures ��it reminded me of Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.� As in his previous novels, The Dropper avoids sentimentality, but not sentiment; Shoe and his brother Bobby live and breathe.� I highly recommend it." ��Stephen King
