Critics Review
Nichols does a persuasive job of portraying a town and lifestyle in flux, and if the marine passages sometimes read like they’d benefit from a translation from the seadogese, they come off as the real deal. * Publishers Weekly *“His dialogue has that fine strain of the just, which is always so startling. I think that in Jim Nichols we have one more of a rare breed.” -Norman Mailer“Hull Creek is the real world: desparate times, heavy-duty hearts.” -Carolyn Chute“Energetically written, often funny, satisfyingly moving, Hull Creek is a wonderful novel.” — Elaine Ford
