Review: Down the River

by
Down the River - J. Scott Coatsworth

Just got an amazing review for Down the River from Ulysses at Queer Sci Fi: Get It At Amazon | Publisher | B&N | Kobo | Apple | Smashwords | Vivlio | Universal Buy Link The Review Anyone who ever read Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City will appreciate this book. An episodic story of a motley group of friends in Sacramento (River City—a nickname I never knew), Down the River doesn’t have a plot so much as a gentle, insightful narrative of these people’s lives, both individual and shared, over the course of a fairly short timespan. The people are old and young, of various ethnicities, orientations and genders. They mostly know each other, and their lives … Read more
