Reviews
"Even when nothing is happening in Jones's fiction, a lot is happening, and the natural settings are bountifully alive." --Publishers Weekly "[The Long Dry] seethes with the brutal squelch of farming, breeding, bleeding, death, and soars with moments of shuddering human frailty and grace." --Boston Globe "The Long Dry... proves that Jones has long been consistent (and consistently good) in his stylistic and thematic wheelhouse. This novel... leaves little question as to why Jones has been called 'one of the most distinctive new voices in British fiction.'" --Rain Taxi "Jones' books are fistfuls of raw earth... [The Long Dry] has a poetic, elemental feel that's enlivening even when the mood is at its lowest ebb." --Star Tribune "Jones's lines propel us, enthrall us, and break our hearts." --Vol. 1 Brooklyn "Not since I first encountered Faulkner has a writer so impressed me with his rural wisdom. Set in the Welsh countryside, The Long Dry is at once profound and plainspoken, feral and fierce, tender and true. This book is a revelation, and Cynan Jones is a prophet of the wonderfully strange." --Peter Geye "The light in this dark tale . . . comes via its language. Jones writes about this mucky, perilous landscape with a simplicity and passion that evoke Seamus Heaney's poetry." --Kirkus Reviews "This is a beautiful little novel that leaves the reader reeling with the powerful emotions it manages to render in such a short space and with such sparse language." --Cleaver "Have you ever wanted to live in the country? Warning: this book is not about life in the country. It's about life. And death. It will make you cry, both because of the things that happen in it and because of the astoundingly unassuming language in which it is written. Read this book." --Annie Bishai, Harvard Book Store, "Even when nothing is happening in Jones's fiction, a lot is happening, and the natural settings are bountifully alive." --Publishers Weekly "[The Long Dry] seethes with the brutal squelch of farming, breeding, bleeding, death, and soars with moments of shuddering human frailty and grace." --Boston Globe "The Long Dry... proves that Jones has long been consistent (and consistently good) in his stylistic and thematic wheelhouse.

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
