Praise for Winter Birds: --Winner of the Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters --Finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award "I have rarely read anything as powerful as Winter Birds. I wanted to steal it and pretend it was mine, or go on tour reading it out loud...This man got it right, he got it perfectly right."--Dorothy Allison "I think I will not read another novel this year. Nothing else can be as vivid, as awful and awesome as this enormously powerful book."--Max Steele "Reminiscent of Faulkner or Caldwell."--Booklist "Southern landscape viewed from a gay perspective with the bitterness of memory but also with the unwavering, unsentimental love--all this, of course, is Dorothy Allison territory. I can't think of a soldier tribute."--The New Yorker Praise for Dream Boy: --Winner of the GLBTF Book Award for Fiction from the ALA --Nominated for the Lambda Award for Fiction "Grimsley clearly understands the pain and confusion of budding love...in this singular display of literary craftmanship."--Publishers Weekly "My admiration for Jim Grimsley's power is widened and deepened."--Reynolds Place Praise for My Drowning: --A Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Writers' Award winner "My Drowning is magnificent, just masterful. So much is not said and yet we know everything."--Ann Patchett "Rural poverty can turn people vicious too, as readers discovered in Erksine Caldwell's 1932 best seller, 'Tobacco Road'...My Drowning eloquently carries on this dark tradition."--The New York Times Book Review "Grimsley's delicate prose and defiant resilience of his protagonist make reading his work a rich, gratifying experience."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
