Review

...The joys, despairs and fatalism of endless basement-apartment hedonism are collected here like fireflies in a jar. -- Henry Allen

...a dark and comic look at how hungry we are for connection and how we can become innocently and ignorantly lost. -- Jane Bradley

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty and insightful..., May 2, 2002
This review is from: Sugar Mountain (Paperback)
Peabody writes with a keen eye and a casual cynicism. Sugar Mountain offers an interesting look at the odd relationships that occur in life and the shadows that they cast on the people in and around them. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars We have a new F. Scott Fitzgerald, August 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sugar Mountain (Paperback)
Sugar Mountain captures the existential spirit of modern America. Its main characters are lost souls, reaching out frenetically to connect. They are aware of their existence only in relation to things, and reverberate against each other like bumper cars endlessly hitting and spinning around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Richard at his finest, September 13, 2000
This review is from: Sugar Mountain (Paperback)
You have to buy this one, even if it's only for the cover picture of Richard, circa 1970 (aka Richard Cobain). Dark and kooky - let's hope we get more of these longer works from Papa Peabody.
