"In Splash Fields, Joseph Cooper picks up where James Tate left off in such books as Memoir of the Hawk and The Government Lake. Like Tate, Cooper creates a memorable wacky ¿rst-person narrator, a ¿aneur of sorts, wandering an imaginary landscape peopled with odd unpredictable characters-a landscape where just about anything can happen. Splash Fields is satire at its best, all delivered in a deadpan voice with pitch perfect dialogue between his characters, so that you never question the reality of this Cooperesque world-one which I am beginning to think may be more sane and entertaining than the supposed real one we currently occupy."-Peter Johnson
