'An overlooked giant of American comic fiction'
Guardian
'Drury gives us the wondrous and engaging stuff of real storytelling . . . a terrific book'
New York Times
When fourteen-year-old Micah Darling travels to Los Angeles to reunite with his estranged mother, he finds himself in a land of magical freedom - a world away from all he's known in the Midwest. And back home in Grouse County, a mysterious young woman arrives on a mission that will unsettle the lives of everyone she encounters.
Returning to the beloved characters of his landmark debut, The End of Vandalism, Pacific confirms Tom Drury as a giant of American fiction.
'A beautiful book of quiet power that deserves recognition as a contemporary classic'
McSweeneys
I loved this book. You will laugh a lot while reading it because I did. You will care about its characters because I did. And I'm certain you will want to read everything else Drury has ever written after closing it because that's what happened to me . . . to read Pacific is to understand how fun reading can be, and how full life truly is. It is a rare pleasure. And if that doesn't sell it to you, then let me add: Pacific is a really, really, really good book -- John Patrick McHugh, author of FUN AND GAMES
A terrific book, and a strange one, as strange as the world and the great literature that helps us make our way through it * New York Times *
Reading Pacific makes me once again fall in love with Drury's words, and his perception of a world that is full of dangers and passions and mysteries and graces -- Yiyun Li, author of THINGS IN NATURE MERELY GROW
