Harvard Review Hails David Rhodes and Driftless |
  The Harvard Review has ample praise for author David Rhodes's body of work with a special emphasis on his latest novel, Driftless. A new review remarks, "After thirty years, Rhodes has delivered, in Driftless, a version of Midwestern pastoral that shoots him to the highest rank of American writers. Together, [Driftless and Rock Island Line ] constitute a credible idealization of the American character, free from its political reductions, as worthy of attention as Franklin, Paine, Jefferson, Twain, and Hemingway’s characterizations of the ideal American." The Harvard Review also declares that [Driftless contains] "one of the most moving descriptions of death
in American fiction."
