A Million Heavens by John Brandon.. Here you have an interesting young voice taking on his/its third novel. Where do these things come from? Well, this one is full of wild mind. Estimable.

Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor

"John Brandon’s novels are choral compositions in the voice of marginal Americans. In them he marshals the thoughts and stories of small-time crooks, troubled adolescents and low-wage workers with higher aspirations, alternating perspectives in the key of hard luck."

The New York Times

"A surreal exploration of the origin of inspiration, of what connects humans to each other and to their surroundings. ...Brandon’s gift for conjuring a powerful sense of place has never been stronger as the high-desert sands invade every nook and cranny of the lives of his characters."
