BRIAN CASTLEBERRY
Praise and Reviews
"In this extraordinary novel, Castleberry brilliantly hopscotches from person to person, from era to era, while somehow making all this fancy footwork look effortless and essential."
- Jenny Offill, author of Department of Speculation and Weather

“Sharply-tuned, funny, satisfyingly strange, and preternaturally poised, unspooling in immaculate prose. Brian Castleberry has that rare, can’t-be-taught ability to turn smoothly at any point in any direction, giving each sentence, no matter how casual, a quiet current of electric suspense.”
- William Finnegan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Barbarian Days

"Impressive... Memorable characters inhabit a surprising, engaging story of American idealism and its dark opposite."
- Kirkus Reviews

“Scrappy and smart, intently observed and often darkly funny, these people navigate lives where everyday struggle and pleasure ride precariously on a deep undercurrent of menace.”- Chelsey Johnson, author of Stray City
"The truly shining objects are the nine stories that make up this gripping, shapeshifting novel. A debut out of this world."
- Hernan Diaz, author of In the Distance

"When, in 1947, a Navy pilot reports that he’s seen nine shiny objects flying over the Cascade Mountains, he sets off a chain reaction that affects nine characters, whose lives intersect in remarkable ways over the course of the following four decades. What Castleberry has written is not a novel about UFOs or cults or rock-and-roll but rather a literary saga that dauntlessly explores what it takes to believe."
​- Rachel Beanland, author of Florence Adler Swims Forever
