Recensione

“A superb piece of courtroom drama . . . Devastatingly good.”
–The New York Times Book Review

“An emotionally stunning, artistically satisfying novel . . . The pace races at a blistering pitch, yet not so fast that one escapes thinking about the nature of guilt and innocence and of love.”
–San Francisco Chronicle

“Frederick Busch’s skillful and disturbing new novel is one of those rare books that delivers more than it promises. At first blush, Closing Arguments has all the earmarks of a legal thriller. . . . This is a story that stays with the reader after the final, harrowing page has been turned–a book with solid meat on its shapely bones.”
–USA Today

“[A] wry, inventive, glimmeringly intelligent book . . . Frederick Busch is an estimable writer, a novelist likely to be named whenever serious readers of fiction talk about writers whose work is worth knowing.”
–Washington Post Book World

“Taut and absorbing . . . Busch, one of our most powerful and prolific authors . . . has achieved some remarkable things in this book.”
–Los Angeles Times Book Review
