Rezensionen

"Life is raw in Leslie Jamison's astonishing first novel, a story of love and ruin in the American West...it is a book that finds beauty in dysfunction-and, in doing so, gives us one of the truest and most devastating depictions of alcoholism to be had in some time...The Gin Closet is nothing short of a tour de force."
