Skillful ... Shows we’re getting selfishness all wrong. As uproariously funny as a takedown of our deadly society can be, the novel is also an urgent call to exchange possession for belonging. Hester is proof that, eventually, capitalism destroys even those it seems to benefit most.
Courage’s debut is a fork jabbed into the electric socket of America. You can’t look away and, thanks to its bitter wit, can’t stop laughing ... There are minor flaws ... A sun-blasted comic wonder.
A provocative, hypnotic excursion ... Courage delights and challenges with this mashup of emotions, until readers may be surprised, in turn, to care about Hester after all.
