Preston Falls

"As he did in his remarkably accomplished first novel, 'Jernigan,' Gates does a meticulous job of conjuring up his hero's daily existence. He uses his pitch-perfect ear for contemporary speech to capture the escalating marital tensions between the Willises, and he uses his keen, journalistic eye to render convincingly both the middle-class world they inhabit and the redneck, working-class world of their neighbors in Preston Falls...."Gates, David is the author of 'Preston Falls', published 1999 under ISBN 9780679756439 and ISBN 0679756434.
