These days I am reading Many Rivers to Cross by Thomas Zigal. After reading about a hundred pages, it was apparent why Mr. Zigal was honored with a Jesse Jones Award for Fiction by the Texas Institute of Letters. Mr. Zigal's characters have believable, nuanced inner lives, and the writing is clear, honest, and well-crafted.
I have no personal connection to Mr. Zigal, other than the fact that I spoke with him briefly at the Wildcatter Exchange in Fort Worth earlier this year, but I do want to let others know about his work. Here is a link to the TCU Press website, where his book is available for purchase. A sample of Many Rivers to Cross can also be downloaded there.
