“Tom Drury is a national treasure, and this is a masterpiece. No other writer has his eye for detail, his ear for dialogue, his tenderness, his humor, his attunement to the numinous and to community, his calm mesmerizing command of the cadences of plain description. ‘West of Loveland’ refers, in the novel, to the siren song of a secondhand postcard: inscribed with someone else’s memories, someone else’s story, the place beckons to various characters—‘We have to go’—because the fiction of it feels realer than their real lives. Every page of this book is as deep a dream as that postcard. West of Loveland, put simply, is west of Loveland: to read Tom Drury is to have to go to Grouse County.”—Bennett Sims, author of Other Minds and Other Stories
