---------------------------------------
Excellent piece of writing... reminds me of Mark Twain’s works. It is sardonic at times, taking a sarcastic tone and mocking the reader while delivering an important piece of the story at the same time.."

"BELL HAMMERS is written in a style not unworthy of John Kennedy Toole and William Faulkner – the vivid characterization of Southern ethnography commingled with stark, episodic spectacle breathes with the spirit of quintessential Americana. It is a text I would happily assign in an American Novel class and would expect it to yield satisfying discourse alongside works in the canon, whether beside the sardonic prose of Mark Twain or the energetically painful narratives of Toni Morrison."
