New Plays from New York

Praise for The Big Both Ways"A thrilling journey . . . sure-footed and deeply evocative."&mdash;Seattle Times"Moving . . . and utterly absorbing."&mdash;Denver Post&ldquo;[A] gripping tale of survival, betrayal and murder set in the Pacific Northwest in 1935 . . . Straley&rsquo;s beautifully understated narrative, vivid sense of place and unapologetic, unadorned characters make this a riveting, unpredictable ride.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly, Starred Reviews"Straley hits all the right notes here: vividly detailed scenes evoking the clash between emerging trade unions and more radical advocates of revolution, as well as almost Dickensian vignettes of the working conditions in the canneries and on the waterfronts of the Northwest, meld perfectly with a Jack London&ndash;like, man-versus-nature story in which two adults, one child, and one bird, huddled together in a very small boat, attempt to stay afloat and move ever northward.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist, Starred Review"A rousing good read."&mdash;Fairbanks Daily News-MinerPraise for John Straley&ldquo;Lesser  writers look to their characters&rsquo; poor choices and attempts to rectify  them, John Straley loves his characters for just those choices.  H&ouml;lderlin wrote: 'Poetically man dwells on the earth.' Some of us wind  up in limericks, some in heroic couplets. But damned near every one of  us, sooner or later, ends up in one of Straley&rsquo;s wise, wayward,  wonderfully unhinged novels.&rdquo;&mdash;James Sallis, author of Drive and the Lew Griffin mysteries &ldquo;Like the Coen brothers on literary speed, John Straley is among the very best stylists of his generation.&rdquo; &mdash;Ken Bruen, Shamus Award winning author of The Guard "Chandler, Ross Macdonald, James Crumley . . . Straley proves once again  that he is up there with the great ones . . . His prose is as smooth as a  well-tuned cello. He has tremendous feeling for the setting: not only  the open waters and frosted countryside outside of Sitka and Juneau, but  also the somewhat seedy streets of these cities." &mdash;Chicago Tribune "Superior thriller writing, once again by Straley&mdash;an excellent plot against Alaska's gigantic and bizarre backdrop." &mdash;Janwillem van de Wetering "Now and then a writer dares to flout the rules and in so doing, carves  out a niche that belongs to him alone. John Straley's novels are like  no others." &mdash;San Diego Tribune "Like James Lee Burke, Straley transcends the genre . . . Marvelous." &mdash;The Tampa Tribune and Times "Straley's beautifully understated narrative, vivid sense of place and  unapologetic, unadorned characters make this a riveting, unpredictable  ride."  &mdash;Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Outstanding . . . satisfies on all levels." &mdash;The Kansas City Star "Strong and sobering . . . with his storyteller's sense of dramatic action [Straley's] in his glory." &mdash;The New York Times Book Review "Straley hits all the right notes" &mdash;Booklist, Starred Review
