“Reading Barnacle Soup, I was seized with the delightful and simultaneous impulse to clutch this book tightly to my chest, and yet also to share it with everyone I know. I’m so grateful to Josie Gray and Tess Gallagher for these intensely place-based stories of bright-burning souls.”
—Rick Bass, author of The Lives of Rocks
“This is a most unordinary kind of book. Josie Gray can tell stories. When he speaks about a dog, I would like to touch that dog. When he writes about a song, I would like to sing that song. This is what I call a good story.”
—Haruki Murakami, author of After Dark
“Gray and Gallagher collude and collogue to produce stories full of deadpan and deadly accurate wit.”
—Ciaran Carson, author of Shamrock Tea |
