Mink River by Brian Doyle

5.0

book #1 of 2021: Mink River by Brian Doyle (pub. 2010) i had this book strongly recommended to me years ago by staff at my favorite bookstore (www.powells.com), but I just finally got to it. like Garrison Keillor and Joseph Heller, Doyle tells the stories of many characters who each have their own path, but who live interrelated lives. the setting, a fictional town on Oregon’s central coast, plays a significant role in each character’s life in this small community, many characters with Native or Irish heritage, or both. the character development, concrete imagery, and storytelling in this book are all excellent and very enjoyable. 5/5. and now for something completely different....
