Samuel

Samuel is a romp. Keith Quincy has created a character that may redefine for readers the psychological term approach/avoidance. Seldom in literature has a character been so disgustingly lovable, and seldom has a story walked as deftly on the fine line between comedy and tragedy. This is a good book!

I can’t remember when I laughed as hard reading a book as I laughed reading Samuel. It also made me sad. Humor and pathos are difficult to mix, but Quincy mixes them just right. He presents Samuel’s character without sentimentality, which not many of us could do. Samuel is a piece of work.
