A review by cathyjtp
Mink River by Brian Doyle

4.0

The first part of this novel is relentlessly anecdotal and you wonder if it's going to progress, coalesce or something as it meanders along. The author gives us long lists, odd and later purposeful peregrinations, allusions to Irish legends. Doyle was known to be a Catholic novelist but churchiness and institutional faith are almost completely absent, though a bit of scripture reading finds its way in. Thought provoking.
