Críticas
"A gem. "Long Man" is so palpably real that I feel I've spent the last few days actually living in Greene's corner of Depression-era Tennessee. Only a handful of writers can bring a place to life with this much texture, and bring characters to life in such a visceral manner. These people and this place will live on in my imagination for the rest of my life. Greene is a special writer, and "Long Man" is a special book--a beautiful piece of work. How I long for more novels like hers." --Steve Yarbrough, author of "Prisoners of War" and "The Realm of Last Chances"
"Equal parts mystery, family saga and backwoods romance", Long Man" captures the collision of hardscrabble folk with the unstoppable modern world. Amy Greene's novel of the Tennessee Valley Authority has a little bit of everything, and is always rich and absorbing." --Stewart O'Nan, author of "A Prayer for the Dying" and "Emily, Alone"

"Unforgettable. Like a classical myth, Greene's second novel, set in the summer of 1936, transforms a period of cataclysmic history into a gorgeous, tragic tale filled with heroes and heroines . . . Greene's enormous talent animates the voices and landscape of East Tennessee so vividly, and creates such exquisite tension, that the reader is left devastated." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)

"Exquisite . . . Greene's prose is as mesmerizing as the story she weaves. Readers will never forget this vividly drawn landscape, the journeys of those who hold tight to this remarkable place in America even as it disappears before their eyes. "Long Man" is a novel about redemption and resurrection and love in all its forms. Its breathtaking suspense and images will haunt me forever." --Jill McCorkle, author of "Life After Life"

"Harrowing, riveting . . . The Tennessee Valley Authority was designed to help modernize the state during the Great Depression, but [it] only spells destruction for the town of Yuneetah. Greene's excellent second novel focuses on the holdouts who refuse to leave, chief among them a husband and wife [whose] 3-year-old daughter goes missing. The lead suspect in her disappearance is a one-eyed Yuneetah native who's spent much of his life as a drifter connected to violent protests against [the] government. Greene's [prose] is sinuous and tonally mythic; Gracie's disappearance, alongside Amos' cat-and-mouse game with authorities, gives the novel a welcome propulsion. "Long Man" fully inhabits the ironies inherent in destroying a place in the name of progress . . . A smart and moody historical novel that evokes the best widescreen Southern literature." --"Kirkus" (starred review)

"Haunting . . . "Long Man "revisits blue-collar Appalachia with the same lyricism Greene brought to her magnificent first novel, "Bloodroot" . . . With searing eloquence, she seems to channel the frustrations of generations of rural poor in this stark indictment of a government hell-bent on destroying a long-standing community. Her stunning insight into a proud and insular people is voiced with cold clarity and burning anger." --Joanne Wilkinson, "Booklist" (starred review)
