Publisher's Summary:

Lang Gore weaves a tightening and haunting tale of doomed love between Candace and Leland, while telling an intricate story of two families: one affluent and socially well placed and the other a high-spirited, free-thinking working-class family. The story is both lurid and lyrical, funny and fantastic. The cast of characters includes business barons, military mutineers, male molesters, mischief makers, woodworkers, wanton women, firefighters in the Pacific Cascades, subversive scholars, hapless hippies, and hunters of jaguars with javelins in Argentina.

Good read!

Seasoned Stories from a Fine Headhunter

The first words here will surely weed the wieners out but those who choose to turn the page and take the consequences will be rewarded in numerous ways. Stories within stories (spell)bound up in themselves are interesting and flow easily and (seemingly) effortlessly.

Candace is constantly checking herself while Leland lazily goes with the flow. Bay may be my favorite guy. I disliked Able and Elliot. Thad retells old tales of treachery as two pilgrims travel into the wilderness toward their doom.

I loved the lyrical whimsy of love and wretchedness, art and anarchy, religion and wickedness. I felt the heat of the fires, the mist of the coast, what allure led on the lured, and what put the pain in the poetry.

Poetry pounds and plays throughout so as to remind the reader words can compound meaning--and still accrue interest! Here that interest is promptly paid. Constant crap-containing conversation will abuse and confuse "clean" minds, and may indeed be taken as godforsaken. Conversely, profane conversations apparently objectively observed speak of the speaker's prolonged proximity to lumpen-proles. In this world--as in anyone's--Sex and Truth in Titillation is not unknown, and neither is the abrupt death of a beloved character, here as in one's own (book of) life.

Avatars of the Bible Belt (beaten) brand will inevitably be appalled by the audacity of Hunting Seasons, unlike rowdy rule-breakers, boredom-busters and other pin(pot)heads. However critical I can be I am no critic, but I savored these words and found them full of flavor, as may many other word (ad)diction dorks.Hunting Seasons

Fascinating and challenging...

A friend lent me this book when I complained that many of the novels I had read in the past year had been largely mundane and predicable. I had told him that I was so tired of plot twists that could be seen a mile away, dialog that appeared to be lifted from Lifetime Movie Network potboilers, and characters who were mostly one-dimensional stereotypes. His recommendation of "Hunting Seasons" turned out to be something very different from my recent experience. The novel wasn't particularly easy to get into at first but once I understood the book's flow and style, I was burning through the pages like mad. I must admit that some of the many literary and political references escaped me but the very real, very complex relationships between the main characters in this story were, at times, uncomfortably familiar and occasionally disturbing.

Recommended.
