Ким Робинсон - Pacific Edge

“Through a blend of dirt-under-fingernails naturalism and lyrical magical realism, Robinson invites us to share his characters’ intensely personal, intensely loyal attachment to what they have. The result is a bittersweet utopia that may shame you into entertaining new hope for the future.”

“An outstanding achievement…. Robinson’s writing ranks in the highest levels of the genre. The book generates a soaring optimism.”
