Book Reviews of River Teeth: Stories and Writings
Book Review: My favort book is only a click away
Summary: 5 Stars
On a long trip up and down the west coast I picked this book up in a shabby bookstore in the hills of San Francisco on a lonely rainy night. It gave me a strange and warm comfort as I battled my way through the vicous rain for the last two weeks of my trip. The book is erre in ways I cannot explain, simply because you read it and understand it so well. Everything Duncan describes has been a part of all our lives somewhere, somehow. This book deeply moved me, and though I was mearly 16 on that rainy night I can never escape the vivid imagery of Duncan's voice.Book Review: Really deserves more than 5 stars!

If you laughed at the "River Why?" and cried over "The Brothers K" then you'll do much more with "River Teeth." You'll meet old friends and make new ones as well as learn who that wonderful writer, David Duncan, is. A truely wonderful book!Book Review: Required reading for all westerners with a far eastern bent
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a hitch-hikn' looking for Sissy out there somewhere and along comes this book with the upside down fish-hook on it and I finally had the term for my favorite piece of women's clothing (i.e. 'the upper tenth of a pair of levis').Ten years later I was having babies and was reading The Brothers K with my son asleep on my chest.
Now, well beyond that divorce, I find "home" in David's stories in River Teeth. His attention to me not his characters is extremely evident through his writing. I can still get chills up my spine just thinking about that Oregon concert when the lightning and thunder peeled...
Book Review: Wonderful Combination of Non-Fiction and Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a collection of short non-fiction pieces and short fiction pieces. Although that combination is an unusual format for a book, it works well. Duncan is an outstanding writer and this book illustrates his talents. I love the book so much, I've bought several copies over the years to give to friends. All of the pieces are good, and every baseball fan or anyone who has a sibling should read "The Mickey Mantle Koan," included in the book.Book Review: another wonderful book by Mr. Duncan
Summary: 5 Stars
A series of short stories that will make you get up, walkaround, mull over, then return... Anyone who has a daughter shouldmark the story "The garbageman's daughter" as a must read!!! Mr. Duncan continues to be one of America's greatest writers!!
