Críticas

"Waterline announces Raisin as a profound thinker as well as a distinctive voice."--Esquire (UK)

"Heartbreaking.... Waterline is a great read, and Mick's story is one you won't forget. With this second novel, Ross Raisin confirms himself as an exciting talent, a unique, gifted, and generous voice, a young writer with a vision broad far beyond his years."--David Vann, Financial Times

"The vernacular is only one aspect of the vitality and inventiveness of Raisin's writing.... A writer of outstanding talent and it will be fascinating to see what he comes up with next."--Peter Carty, Independent (UK)

"A standout....Evocative.... strong echoes of George Orwell's classic, Down and Out in Paris and London."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air

"What impresses about Raisin is the all-encompassing nature of his imaginative empathy, and the way in which he makes the reader complicit in his character's fate . . . Electric."--Andrew Holgate, Sunday Times (London)

"Raisin is shaping up to be one of our most extraordinary writers."--Catherine Taylor, Telegraph (UK)

"Ross Raisin's debut, God's Own Country, was deservedly acclaimed, and Waterline is similarly impressive, with Raisin again making vivid, compelling use of the vernacular.... It remains to the last supremely empathic, and Raisin's powers of observation intense."--Stephanie Cross, Daily Mail (UK)

"A powerful depiction of the dislocating effects of grief....genuinely moving."--Publishers Weekly

"Affecting..."--Rachel Nolan, New York Times Book Review

"Raisin works magic with bleak and disturbing material....In Raisin's hands the story is magnetic....Without ever hitting a preachy note, here is a book that makes homelessness human, sometimes even funny."--Dafna Izenberg, Maclean's

Reseña del editor

From Ross Raisin, the highly acclaimed author of Out Backward—a debut novel Colm Tóibín called “compelling, disturbing and often very funny”—comes the moving and story of an ex-shipyard worker’s journey of grief and reclamation in the wake of his wife’s death. Lyrical and resonant, with echoes of Paul Harding’s Tinkers and Anne Enright’s The Gathering, Raisin’s blue collar story of a man’s fractured search for a new beginning is a powerfully voiced, penetratingly personal narrative of alienation and, ultimately, redemption.

“Ross Raisin confirms himself as an exciting talent, a unique, gifted, and generous voice, a young writer with a vision broad far beyond his years.” —David Vann, Financial Times
