I read this almost immediately after End of Vandalism. I rarely read 2 books in a row by the same author or even of the same type, so I was clearly taken by Drury's writing and characters. Hunts in Dreams didn't charm me quite as much. Odd little book, for sure. I'll take a break before moving on to Pacific, the third in the trilogy, but I will definitely come back.

A reread hot on the heels of The End of Vandalism. It doesn’t quite reach the heights of its predecessor but is still a five star work. It’s much darker and more evenly paced, but that just serves to make the sparks of humor shine brighter. Those full paragraph moments of beauty are still present and more honed, more direct. A stunning beauty.

Like a punk-rock Faulkner with touches of Bret Easton Ellis.

Liest sich irgendwie sehr nüchtern und ruhig, aber ehe man sichs versieht ist man drin und hat das ganze Buch nur so weggelesen.

Can't give Tom Drury less than a 5. His characters, observations and writing are so wonderful, it all stays with you long after you've finished. Impressive stuff.
