Affliction by Russell BanksMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Like blood spilled from Richard Russo's veins, this is a masterpiece of the charms and violence of small town life. Dark but still warm, speaking softly with a big stick, etc, it hit all the beats for me of a beautifully written story. I read a lot of nonfiction and genre stuff, but when I'm going for just "fiction", I hope for books like this. A steak dinner.
