Daniel Galera author of Blood Drenched Beard

Dwight Garner, The New York Times: “Mr. Galera has a lovely sense of the rhythms of beach town life in the off season, the salty air and the diesel fishing boat motors and sun that burns off the morning chill… Like his narrator, he’s a lover as much as a fighter, and his novel is seductive. It’s got a tidal pull. Blood-Drenched Beard also has a terrific ending. It’s one that suggests, sometimes at least, that peace, love and understanding are vastly overrated.”The Avid Reader Show is sponsored by Wellington Square Bookshop in Chester County, PA.
