Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Ironweed by William Kennedy follows Francis Phelan as he returns home after a horrific accident that changed his family's lives forever.
What George Says: “For those beautiful ghostly scenes in the graveyard, and for the idea that even in death we retain our foibles, perhaps even exaggerated.”
What They Say: “The premise of Ironweed was so unpromising, that in marketing terms the writer still to this day finds it funny: the story of a bunch of itinerant alcoholics, knocking around Kennedy's hometown, falling out, having visions, trying to pass for sober to cadge a bed for the night in the homeless shelter” — Guardian
