Review in Liberty
Posted on Thursday May 31, 2007 at 3:41pm.
Stephen Cox, editor of Liberty, has selected my novel Mean Martin Manning as his summer book pick. The brief review appears in the July print issue (in stores in June), but you can also read it online (scroll down -- it's the last review on the page). Here's an excerpt:
There are few really good hardcore libertarian novels. This is one of them. Remember, I said "hardcore." And "good." "Good" doesn't mean "I agree with the message." "Good" doesn't mean "I like the hero." "Good" doesn't mean "This is an agreeable fantasy." "Good" means a lot more than that, and "Mean Martin Manning" is good. It's smart and it's funny. It's exactly as long as it ought to be. Its images, ideas, settings, and characters will linger in your memory far beyond this summer.
