Quotes
“This story ties it all together, from the boxer and the writer’s eyes—the struggling middle, the bright beginning, and the path toward the end for Hugo Hunter and this Montana collection of characters. It’s about the fraternity of the lost, and the tales they tell each other on their way back.” —Tim Kawakami, award-winning sports columnist, San Jose Mercury News“To describe The Fallow Season of Hugo Hunter as ‘a story about a boxer and a sports reporter’ would be too limiting. It’s a story about the human condition, and about how, for better or worse, we all need each other. Lancaster masterfully crafts a timeless piece set in an American town, and creates characters so real I expect to meet them in a bar on my way through Billings, Montana. In short, Craig Lancaster is an author who constantly challenges me to step up my game. His latest novel only increases that challenge. Whereas Hugo Hunter’s best days might be behind him, Lancaster is just getting revved up.” —Elisa Lorello, bestselling author of Faking It, Ordinary World, and She Has Your Eyes“Like Edward Stanton before them, Hugo Hunter and Mark Westerly are characters that shine with authenticity. Craig Lancaster may very well be the best writer I know when it comes to telling the stories of broken misfits struggling toward the light, and The Fallow Season of Hugo Hunter may very well be his best book yet.” —Tyler Dilts, author of A Cold and Broken Hallelujah, The Pain Scale, and A King of Infinite Space
