"Tanzer’s prose is clean and clear. He gets to the heart of each scene, each conflict, without wasting a moment." My Father's House gets Murder Your Darlings'd. And likes it. A lot.

It really does. Big thanks to the Cort Bledsoe and Murder Your Darlings for these quite kind, and ultimately, most humbling words. Drinks sir on us for sure when next we meet. Now, how about some excerpt? Excellent.

"Tanzer’s prose is clean and clear. He gets to the heart of each scene, each conflict, without wasting a moment. He also avoids melodrama in what could easily be an over-the-top book in less capable hands. Tanzer also places the novella in time with cultural references to movies, especially. It’s as though he’s saying that in the looming absence of a father, this narrator looks to the culture at large. Similarly, he doesn’t look to religion or some ethnic denotation for solace; he looks to film, which is an interesting insight into the mores of this generation."
