This is the work of a great American writer.” — Michael Connelly “A jewel box of muscular writing...” — Denver Post Superb...Remarkable...The simple clarity of [Dexter’s] prose is like an Edward Hopper painting. — New York Sun With authority and a strange grace, Dexter has crafted a powerful true portrait of the underbelly of the American Dream. — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Lovers of fine writing ought to give a serious consideration to Pete Dexter’s new book.” — Seattle Post-Intelligencer “Paper Trails is a master class in tight, effective writing.” — St. Petersburg Times “The author’s true eye for detail makes for easy reading.” — Kirkus Reviews “Laugh-out-loud stories...Ideal for... writers and any book lover who appreciates a good story.” — Library Journal “Compact and illuminating...” — Sunday Oregonian “Paper Trails will stir nostalgia for those who remember a time when newspapers prided themselves on cutting loose, colorful writers...” — Columbus Dispatch “A book full of good reading...” — Rocky Mountain News
