Every essay made me miss him being in the world all over again. An excellent collection and one of the best introductions I have read, by David James Duncan.
–Cindy Heidemann, Ingram Publisher Services NW book rep
One Long River of Song is a career-spanning retrospective of the work of legendary Northwest writer Brian Doyle; if you’ve read him before you’ll already be running for the door to add it to your collection, and if you haven’t you should run even faster. This is the perfect introduction to an inimitable artist whose writing continues to spread joy and wonder long after his untimely 2017 death.
—James Crossley, Madison Books, Seattle

Brian was so wonderful and this collection so good—I forgot bedtime reading for our nine year old on an overnighter but had this book in my bag. You’ve never seen a more tickled and relaxed kid drift off in a sleeping bag, after a couple of choice selections. Thanks for rescuing me, Brian!
