Poachers (25 page)
Authors: Tom Franklin
“I am amazed by his power in the novella. I’m reminded, by the evocative strength of the prose and the relentlessness of the imagination, of Faulkner and particularly of the Faulkner of
Wild Palms
. Franklin is a vivid portraitist of these harsh human types, and his authority in depicting the natural world ‘along this stretch of the Alabama River’ is dazzling. I can’t believe he’s not better known, but he will be, and soon.”
—Philip Roth
