PUBLISHERS WEEKLY WRITES:
“With lyric beauty, welcome frankness, and rare emotional urgency, Boone reimagines Dickens’s Great Expectations in the American South, in the tumultuous 1960s, with a queer perspective and countless new and illuminating approaches. Furnace Creek generates suspense from both Dickens’s irresistible original framework and Boone’s fresh vision of the tale, a Southern Gothic whose innovations are always true to the realities of class, race, and sexuality of its milieu. Exquisite prose and a storyteller’s elan keep the story going."
