Praise for Pacific Edge

“An outstanding achievement. . . . Robinson’s writing ranks in the highest levels of the genre. The book generates a soaring optimism.” —Publishers Weekly

“Through a blend of dirt-under-fingernails naturalism and lyrical magical realism, Robinson invites us to share his characters’ intensely personal, intensely loyal attachment to what they have. The result is a bittersweet utopia that may shame you into entertaining new hope for the future.” —The New York Times Book Review

“[Pacific Edge is] the outstanding utopia of the last ten years and more.” —Foundation
