"Exquisite." —Buzz
"Poignant, funny, and artful, Duncan's Oriver teeth' are like
elongated American haiku, stretching their grainy syllables from
the home plate of nostalgia to the outfield fences of eternity."
—Tom Robbins
"To read River Teeth is to have a stranger's recollections loom up
out of vagary and namelessness, and to grip you as if they were
your own." —Los Angeles Times
"David James Duncan is in love with water, the rivers and streams
that coursed through his life. Believe me, you will be swept up by
his rivers, carried downstream, and deposited in a new place. In
that new place, Duncan will build a fire and tell you a bunch of
stories. What else could you want?" —Sherman Alexie
