"Mesmerizing. . . . Staggeringly beautiful . . . [Mason] may well be the next great novelist of our time." --The Boston Globe
"Penetrating. . . . Mason's power as a storyteller is to plunge the reader into a world so perfectly detailed that we don't just see it through the protagonist's eyes. All of our senses are engaged."--San Francisco Chronicle
"A Far Country is a book about . . . people who live as subsistence farmers or flee their land to scrabble for a living in the smog-choked megacities of the south. . . . But for a bit of historical luck, its 'far country' might be Britain, America or anywhere else." --The New York Times Book Review
"With both boldness and circumspection. . . . Mason writes in stripped-down prose that strives toward a sort of meditative lucidity." --Chicago Tribune
