More Reviews"Doug Marlette's natural talent for delightful humor glimmers in The Bridge. But he also leaves you holding your heart with both hands." -–Rick Bragg "Marlette's fiction is as searing and brilliant as his visual art. The Bridge is an exceptional, eloquent book . . . leaves a reader breathless at the end."-–St. Petersburg Times "The finest first novel to come out of North Carolina since the publication of Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel."-–Pat Conroy "Doug Marlette takes us deep into the heart of America, and deeper into the American heart. . . His past and present not only lives and breathes, it lingers and it haunts your soul."-–Joe Klein "The Bridge is about massive, indomitable human spirit and a powerful longing for freedom. Marlette writes with extraordinary grace, humor and with such bursts of force that I was left in perfect wonder at the novel's close."-–Kaye Gibbons Paramount buys "The Bridge" movie rights for Tom Cruise. |
