I think my favorite of his is A Prayer for the Dying, which is about as close to Greek tragedy as modern fiction gets. He's also successful in pulling off a second person narrative, which is hard to do.As the Crowe Flies and Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110661562901480120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390553442147045806.post-48925260800741252872011-11-09T05:26:39.981-07:002011-11-09T05:26:39.981-07:00Yes, though it was a small book, it was a deliciou...Yes, though it was a small book, it was a delicious book. It made me crave cheddar biscuits so much that I went off in search of other books by the same author.

The whole idea seems even more applicable in today's economic environment then it did in 2007. Maybe O'Nan is a bit of a visionary in that respect.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768659447473760201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390553442147045806.post-35319249328803502062011-11-06T07:22:38.893-07:002011-11-06T07:22:38.893-07:00I'm a big fan of Stewart O'Nan--he writes ...I'm a big fan of Stewart O'Nan--he writes a different book every time he's at bat, which is refreshing in the world of writers who find a niche and stick there.
