“The three haunted voices of Robert Vivian’s Another Burning Kingdom tell individual tales of interweaving fates that also etch a portrait of America’s forgotten ones. Vivian’s visionary trilogy of novels is brought to stunning conclusion here, capping an original achievement in American fiction, offering both apocalyptic revelation and possible redemption.”—Philip Graham, author of How to Read an Unwritten Language
“Vivian writes in the Southern Gothic tradition, though his fiction is set in Nebraska and the West. . . . Violence and the rural are important to this story, as is letting the dispossessed speak for themselves. The rural subjectivity expressed in Another Burning Kingdom is horrific and beautiful.”—Aaron Gwyn, author of The World Beneath: A Novel
"Vivian finds impressive depth in a slim and spare endeavor."—Publishers Weekly
"Another Burning Kingdom entwines a set of perspectives on the prospects of future happiness—both personal and national. It simmers its way to a boil as Lem drives from California to his brother's prairie home to play an unwitting part in Jackson's drama while Lissa wrestles with her betrayal. Vivian writes beautifully, and his characters draw you into their dreams."—Tom Zelman, Star Tribune
"Another Burning Kingdom is an excellent read that shouldn't be overlooked."—Midwest Book Review
"Heartbreaking and beautiful."—Sophfronia Scott, Gently Read Literature
