Mink River
A General Fiction Novel by Brian Doyle
Subgenres:
- Small Town Fiction,
- Literary Fiction,
- Oregon Coast
This book is for you if you're into...
- Quirky small towns where the river has its own secrets
- Eccentric community rituals like football field picnics and insect-counting
- Stories where animals and objects have surprising voices
In a small town on the Oregon coast there are love affairs and almost-love-affairs, mystery and hilarity, bears and tears, brawls and boats, a garrulous logger and a silent doctor, rain and pain, Irish immigrants and Salish stories, mud and laughter.
There’s a Department of Public Works that gives haircuts and counts insects, a policeman addicted to Puccini, a philosophizing crow, beer and berries.
An expedition is mounted, a crime committed, and there’s an unbelievably huge picnic on the football field.
Babies are born.
A car is cut in half with a saw.
A river confesses what it’s thinking…
It’s the tale of a town, written in a distinct and lyrical voice, and readers will close the book more than a little sad to leave the village of Neawanaka, on the wet coast of Oregon, beneath the hills that used to boast the biggest trees in the history of the world.
