MARLEY comes out in just over two months, but we have blurbs for the book jacket. High praise from very notable authors:
From Charles Frazier, New York Times bestselling author of Cold Mountain and Varina:
“It’s one thing to come up with a brilliant premise, but it’s another thing to know what to do with it, how to realize its potential. As he did with FINN, Jon Clinch digs down to the bones of a classic and creates must-read modern literature.”
From Robert Goolrick, New York Times bestselling author of A Reliable Wife and The Dying of the Light:
"In MARLEY, Jon Clinch again demonstrates his genius, taking Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL and turning it inside out, revealing its contemporary wonder, making the characters and actions of both Scrooge and Marley entirely modern, without losing a beat of Dickens’ Victorian music."
From Elizabeth Letts, New York Times bestselling author of Finding Dorothy and The Perfect Horse:
“In MARLEY, Clinch revisits Dicken’s A CHRSTMAS CAROL and dares to ask “what precisely are the chains that shackled Marley?” Read through to the last page of this brilliant book, and I promise you that you will have a permanently changed view, not just of Dickens’s world, but of the world we live in today.”

Excellent! Thank you for pointing this out as I missed it as I perused the NYT. I’m thrilled for Jon!
It’s only online now; it’ll be in print in the Sunday edit.
