"Clearly one of the best American writers of his generation." --Ron Rash "Taylor Brown writes with rare energy, spinning out history with the force of myth. Wingwalkers thrusts us into the lives of two daredevil aeronauts during the Great Depression, who happen to awaken and inspire William Faulkner. Brown's vision is as fresh and audacious as his language. Gutsy, original, and powerfully imagined." --Paula McLain, author of THE PARIS WIFE and WHEN THE STARS GO DARK "Brown weaves a rich and poignant tale from a tidbit in Faulkner's life around an aerial barnstorming couple of the 1930s. Fierce and beautiful" --Kim Michele Richardson, author of THE BOOK WOMAN OF TROUBLESOME CREEK "Like flight itself, Wingwalkers defies gravity, lifting us into the ether with its beautiful and poetic grace. Fans of Faulkner will not be disappointed.
Be transported to the days of early aviation, walk in the shoes of those who dared to push the boundaries of man. Taylor Brown's characters live the kind of bold, fearless lives we all envy. This book is not to be missed!" --Susan Crandall, author of THE FLYING CIRCUS "Brown crafts a heart-pounding plot, and his gorgeous descriptions of Southern terrain from the air resonate just as much. The result is both elegant and thrilling." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY of bold, fearless lives we all envy.
