“Larry Brown has an ear for the way people talk, an eye for their habits and manners, a heart for the frailties and foibles, and a love for their struggles and triumphs. His fireman’s diary is a wonderful book.” —John Grisham

“Larry Brown is never romantic about danger . . . In this book he goes through his life with the same meticulous attention with which Thoreau circled the woods around Walden Pond.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Clear, simple, and powerful, and great rowdy fun to read.”  —Time

“Larry Brown has slapped his own fresh tattoo on the big right arm of Southern lit.”  —The Washington Post
