Editorial Reviews
Review
"A good, tough guy ending... Kelly knows how the palaver goes in the kind of bar that doesn't have ferns, the boozy, unchanging gab about sports, women, and the System that defines the deep, edgy pessimism of blue-collar men." -- Time
"A tough talking tale about two Irish-American brothers... Mobsters, union troubles, and a female FBI agent also play a part in this well-received novel." -- USA Today
"Powerful...a solidly realistic slice of a violent nether world and the seriously outgunned forces resisting it." -- The New York Times
"Stunning . . . A righteous, teeming, hot-blooded novel of betrayal, retribution, and passion." -- James Ellroy
"Tom Kelly proves he knows New York like his own skin. He might laugh if you called him a poet but that he is. His prose is hard and heartbreaking and the talk of his characters will echo a long time. It is the talk of men and women who have to keep face and if there is love they'll utter it with an obscenity. Payback is Tom Kelly's New York, a great book to read more than once." -- Frank McCourt
