A review by pbobrit
On Fire by Larry Brown

4.0

I yet to come across a piece of work of Larry's that I haven't liked, and this was no exception. I picked this one right now, as I'm studying memoir is school and this is his memoirs of his times as a firefighter in Oxford, Mississippi. As with his fiction it is a mixture of dark humour and heartbreak. He writes with a masculine, but not insensitive voice, and draws you into that world and the culture that surrounds the firefighter. This one is recommended for fans of memoir, contemporary Southern lit, and just a good yarn.
