Squabble by John Holman eBook

PRAISE FOR JOHN HOLMAN

“Clear images, brilliantly concise writing, and hidden metaphors speak well for Holman.... In many ways the work is reminiscent of Steinbeck’s Cannery Row.” —The Tampa Tribune

“Holman’s fiction is a must-read.... Employs the consciousness of a keenly observant man who reveals the complexities of the black experience and demonstrates fluent language in a rich and imagistic read.” —The Independent (London)

“Virtually every page carries some variation on the top-of-the-Ferris-wheel feeling a kid gets.... In Holman’s sublimely nuanced world, anticipation is everything.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
