"Cliff Hudder has created a funny, hapless, befuddled, and creepy character in a sprawling novel that will surprise and entertain you about what we seek at middle-age, what confuses us, and what consumes us as we try to turn a 'will to lose' into a quiet victory." ~ SERGIO TRONCOSO, author of Nobody's Pilgrims, A Peculiar Kind of Immigrant's Son, From This Wicked Patch of Dust.
​
"By the time you finish this book, you'll know these people like your own relatives. Or maybe even better." ~ ELIZABETH CROOK, author of The Which Way Tree, The Night Journal, The Madstone.
​
"You're going to fall as hard as I did for his imperfect hero and the misshapen figures he meets in the wonderfully drawn, bizarre world of Sallowsfield. ~ DAVID SAMUEL LEVINSON, author of Anotonia Lively Breaks the Silence, Tell Me How This Ends Well.
​
"From the Pantheon of Picaresques stumbles Wyatt Sallow on his Pilgrimage to Sallowsfield. His Quest--for X, Y, and Z--is the Quest of the Great Wanderers--Todd Andrews in The Floating Opera, Binx Bolling in The Vieux Carré, and Leopold Bloom in "The Lotus Eaters." And as we accompany him on his sallow search, we both recognize and discover ourselves. "~ GLENN BLAKE, author of Drowned Moon, Return Fire, The Old and the Lost.
