Reviews
Review in Bird Guides:
“A powerful story of the perils of messing with the ecosystem, however small and well-intentioned the original action might be.”
Review in H-Net:
“Starlings is both highly readable and deeply entertaining, tracing how starlings went from a solution to a problem.”
Review in the Journal of American History:
“Roger’s prose, creative organization, research and the surprising combination of familiar subjects make his book valuable for scholars of Mormonism, progressivism, and Buffalo Bill.”
Review in Big Sky Journal:
“Each story in this complex novel is a mindfully wrought world of the human condition. The characters are people we know, people we yearn to be, and people we are terrified of becoming. Through it all is Ray’s ear for poetry, his love of Montana’s open spaces, and the almost mystical appearance of blackbirds arriving at poignant moments in all the characters’ lives.”
Review in Publisher’s Weekly:
“[Thomas Aiello’s] captivating and deeply researched account seamlessly weaves together the politics of race and sports. This is a knockout.”
At The Corner of Past and Future
