Mink River by Brian Doyle

4.0

Thank you, Brian Doyle, for writing a book unlike any other I've read. I've been trying to read Martin Marten (another by Brian Doyle) on my Kindle, and to be honest, I've had to put it aside. Doyle writes the world's longest and most digressive sentences, long enough that I too often lost the idea by the time I reached the period. I decided to try Mink River as an audiobook, and that was the ticket for me. Having this interesting, creative, original book read to me was wonderful, and I'll be thinking about the characters, setting, and language for a long time. Better yet, listening to Mink River led me to several of Doyle's other books that I'm anxious to read, [b: The Wet Engine|938354|The Wet Engine Exploring Mad Wild Miracle of Heart|Brian Doyle|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328757012s/938354.jpg|923329] and [b: A Book of Uncommon Prayer: 100 Celebrations of the Miracle & Muddle of the Ordinary|21972323|A Book of Uncommon Prayer 100 Celebrations of the Miracle & Muddle of the Ordinary|Brian Doyle|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1400869232s/21972323.jpg|41282500].
