As their friendship grows, their small, seaside town falsely perceives menace where there is only mishap--and the duo must take to the road. /> /> Gorgeously written in poetic and mesmerizing prose, Spill Simmer Falter Wither is one of those rare stories that utterly and completely imagines its way into a life most of us would never see. It transforms us in our understanding not only of the world, but also of ourselves. /> />“A man-and-his-dog story like no other.”--San Francisco Chronicle /> /> “[Spill Simmer Falter Wither] hums with its own distinctiveness.”-- Guardian (UK) /> /> “A tour de force...A stunning and wonderful achievement by a writer touched by greatness.” /> --Joseph O’Connor, for the Irish Times
