Fear and Trembling in Las Vegas

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Mr. Hoyt’s first book, The Seven Ranges, knocked me clean off my feet—on my fifth read, just as sure as it did on the first. Fear and Trembling in Las Vegas picks me up, dusts off my back side, and points out the path of my pilgrimage through postmodern America—which is, whether I want it to be or not—the land of my sojourn. The first book burns the eyes clean. The second calls the heart forward. Simply beautiful work.”
