What reviewers are saying about
The Yellow Ribbon Snake
"A modern-day Don Quixote who finds redemption
and simple pleasures even in a lifetime of disappointments, Jacko
Lee is one unlikely hero readers will root for.... This first
novel is a vividly poignant inside look at the disenfranchised
and marginalized people on the fringe of society, among whom
the wandering hero manages to find some peace at last."
-Publishers Weekly
"A strongly written first novel, half
of which is told in the voice or mind of a mentally disabled
man.... An altogether welcome work with a terrific grip on the
English language." -Kirkus Reviews
"Dailey writes with the metaphoric passion
of Hawthorne and the real-life matter-of-fact edge of Louise
Erdrich....
"Dailey writes with a careful objectivity,
teasing the reader with a combination of peace earned in midlife
and a criminally charged infestation of madness that parallels
the Furies of ancient literature....
"...Dailey commands serious attention."
-ForeWord Magazine
