Reviews
"The unsentimental education of a farm boy from Michigan, August wastes no words. It reads like early Hemingway, retooled for the present. Work, pain, weather, violence, the bitten-off curse of American masculinity--you'll find yourself praying for the redemption of its laconic, damaged, wonderful, still very young hero." --William Finnegan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Barbarian Days " August is an exceptional coming-of-age story. Callan Wink is too wise and empathetic a writer to ever allow his readers easy judgments as we follow his memorable young protagonist on his precarious way through adolescence. An outstanding debut novel and worthy follow-up to Wink's widely praised collection of stories." --Ron Rash, New York Times bestselling author of The Risen and Serena "Callan Wink's characters are as real and vivid as if they'd stepped into your living room, uninvited, to tell their stories. His style is as clear, precise, and starkly poetic as the young Hemingway's, but with a more droll sense of humor. This book is simply super--a deft, beautiful, deeply engaging read." --Brad Watson, author of Miss Jane, "The unsentimental education of a farm boy from Michigan, August wastes no words.

Callan Wink has a voice like Annie Proulx's; he lands every detail with concrete authenticity and every emotional moment with tangible feeling." --Rae DelBianco, author of 2019 Prix Littéraire Lucien-Barrière winner Rough Animals, " August is an exceptional coming-of-age story.

I haven't connected with a character so intensely--and sometimes uncomfortably--since I first read Jim Harrison's early novels almost thirty years ago. Wink's prose has Harrison's into-the-vein immediacy and Tom McGuane's perfect pitch, and there's a hard-to-pin-down hint of Cormac McCarthy in there too (so that makes three of my heroes). But the voice and ethos are new to me, and absolutely Wink's." --James A. McLaughlin, Edgar Award-winning author of Bearskin
