Gravesend by William Boyle
Rating: 5 bleak gritty stars
Summary: The brother of a murder, hate crime, is seeking revenge for his brother of the recently released killer. A cast of characters is brought together in a tight knit neighborhood in Brooklyn NY and mixed up in a blender and spit out in a bleak gritty hard boiled character drive by.
Comments: There is so much to describe with Boyle’s debut Gravesend. What Cormac McCarthy did for the desert SW, Boyle does for Brooklyn. Boyle will be the next giant author. Must read and lessons on writing a novel of destruction and brutality. Wowzer!
