It's not surprising that So Much Blue is such a perfectly structured novel; Everett is an author who started his career off strong and just keeps getting better. It's a generous, thrilling book by a man who might well be America's most under-recognized literary master, and readers will be thinking about it long after the last page. As Kevin observes at one point: 'Like most things that come back to haunt you, it haunted me in the beginning. No ghost is born overnight.'–Michael Shaub, NPR Book Review
