Set in a Georgetown hospital, Across the River gets right to the heart. Orem has a
keen sense of detail and a rare combination
of empathy and equanimity with regard to
his characters. The result is an honest and powerful work.

Reader Beware: Killer of Crying Deer is not a beach read. It is a serious novel, maybe even an important one, in the tradition of Moby Dick , Heart of Darkness , and The Red Badge of Courage.
