The Light of Falling Stars

"A debut of unusual depth and sensitivity". -- Mademoiselle "A moving, gracefully wrought exploration of grief and love". -- Entertainment Weekly "Lennon is an artist of the first rank...(this is) a book that will endure". -- Chicago Tribune "Though The Light of Falling Stars is about the aftermath of a plane crash, J. Robert Lennon convincingly reminds the reader that lives are often lived in the aftermath -- of moments missed, things unsaid or said dangerously late, tenuous connections that only tensely connect people who care about each other more than they can say. Lennon's writing is wonderful: restrained but vivid, elegant but edgy. His is a dynamic new voice, with prose that can mesmerize". -- Ann Beattie "Lennon's lushly descriptive style speaks directly and metaphorically at the same time .... (Lennon's) is a voice with real promise". -- San Francisco Chronicle "The imaginative range Lennon displays is extraordinary... Traversing age, gender and nationality, Lennon, who renders life from its smallest details and who is a painstaking mapper of emotions, makes his characters original and at the same time recognizable to the reader...The Light of Falling Stars is truly a memorable debut". -- Time Out New York "Beautiful writing that captures his characters' first tenuous steps out of tragedy's shadow...Lennon's remains a new voice worth listening, lucid and graceful even in this characters' darkest hours". -- Publishers Weekly
