"Stitched through with humor, this often-unpredictable novel will keep readers running along with every step of Håkan's odd escapades." -Booklist An ambitious and thoroughly realized work of revisionist historical fiction." -Kirkus "As Diaz, who delights in playful language, lists, and stream-of-consciousness prose, reconstructs adventures, he evokes the multicultural nature of westward expansion, in which immigrants did the bulk of the hard labor and suffered the gravest dangers. "Diaz cleverly updates an old-fashioned yarn, and his novel is rife with exquisite moments." -Publishers Weekly, boxed and starred review
And its ability to create lustrous mindscapes from wide-open spaces, from voids that are never empty." -New York Times "An affecting oddness is the great virtue of In the Distance, along with its wrenching evocations of its main character's loneliness and grief.
