Citizen Vince
"You have to read it ... Utterly inventive in tone and plot." -- WASHINGTON POST
- Edgar Allan Poe Award Best Novel, 2005
- Finalist ITW Thriller Award
"Refreshing ... For readers who appreciate wry precision and expert timing." -- NEW YORK TIMES
"Fresh and different--a gritty story of betrayal, an extended riff on life, death, and politics. Walter is a literary talent writ large." -- BOSTON GLOBE
"It's been a long time since I've read a book as compulsively, indeed greedily, as I read Citizen Vince. Here are characters who seem to live of their own volition, who talk out of a terrible inner need to make themselves known and understood, who reveal not just themselves but the yearning heart of our great flawed democracy." -- RICHARD RUSSO
