PRAISE FOR THE MAGIC DEER
The Magic Deer [is] told with strong authorial voice, almost in the manner of oral storytelling....I was affected so strongly by the reading that I couldn't go to anything else when I was done; picking up another book seemed a letdown..."
--C. Darren Butler, Magic Realism
These three stories show Beasley at the top of his form...at home with the mysterious, inexplicable and timeless."
