From The New York Times Book Review, Dwight Garner
Morgan is among the relatively few American writers
who write about work knowledgeably, and as if it really matters.
From Oprah Book Club Selection, January 2000
[Morgan] writes with great feeling--but not a touch
of sentimentality--about a life Julie aptly calls "both simple and hard." |

From Publishers Weekly
Morgan follows up his bestselling Gap Creek with
another tale of the Carolina wilderness in the 1920s. This Rock
is in much the same vein [as Gap Creek], so new and old fans should
be satisfied. |

From Publishers Weekly
Eloquent, wise, and heartbreaking. Morgan's
second novel offers insightful truths about family life and marital
relationships. . . This story of unassuming people striving for goodness but
alienated from each other by differences in personality and perception of
the world cannot fail to pierce the reader with the same poignant, ironic
insight Ginny achieves.

From Publishers Weekly:
Morgan aims for the tone of an Appalachian oral
history in this ambitious novel whose origins are the stories told, over the
years, by members of the writer's family, hailing from North Carolina's Blue
Ridge Mountains.

From Publishers Weekly:
Novelist, poet, and short story writer Morgan displays
an impressive command of new and selected stories. Arranged
chronologically from the 16th century to the present, each tale embraces a
strong, authentic voice. Morgan's narrative range is remarkable.
