We’re so thrilled about the fantastic book trailer for Patrick deWitt’s The Sisters Brothers. This much-buzzed-about novel is available this month in bookstores across Canada. Watch it here:
And here are a few of the incredibly positive reviews this book has received so far:
“[Patrick] DeWitt has produced a genre-bending frontier saga that is exciting, funny, and perhaps unexpectedly, moving.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
“. . . a lushly voiced picaresque story . . . It’s a kind of True Grit told by Tom Waits.” — Esquire
“. . . smooth and seamless, shot through with dark humor . . . as easy to slip into as the old HBO series ‘Deadwood.’” — LA Times
“I doubt very much I’ll read a funnier, more original book than this picaresque, Wild West tale . . . a terrifically spun yarn . . . masterfully strange and wonderful . . .” — Toronto Star
“. . . cinematic, wry and mannered . . . DeWitt['s] ability to distill an image with a couple of well-chosen words and the precision and intensity of his language gives [The] Sisters [Brothers] a dreamlike aura.” — Philadelphia City Paper
“. . . imaginative and ebullient . . . revels in the hilarious life and times of two gunslingers, Eli and Charlie Sisters.” — Boston Globe
“. . . gory, mesmerizing . . . carries a strong echo of Pulp Fiction . . . seduces us to its characters, and draws us on the strength of deWitt’s subtle, nothing-wasted prose.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer
Get a feel for Pigeon English, an exciting debut novel by Stephen Kelman, with this fantastic book trailer created by UK publisher Bloomsbury:
Latest reviews:
“Pigeon English will be read by millions.” — Telegraph
“Filled with energy, humour and compassion, Pigeon English is a gut-wrenchingly sad novel that makes you laugh out loud.” — Guardian
“To be moved to care this deeply for a fictional character is a rare experience.” — Winnipeg Free Press
“Most novels aren’t as imaginative, gut-wrenching and powerful as Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman, and this one is Kelman’s first. It’s immediately engaging, and it doesn’t let go.” — Edmonton Journal
