Rag Man | Pete Hautman
I was pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of Pete Hautman books at the Stratford Library having read “Doohickey” a few years back. “Rag Man” is a tidy read that dwells upon what happens when an individual, part through choice, part through circumstance, decide to change what they value and how they value others.
The book kept me intrigued and I like the way the author situates his novels in places where he resides, you get a feel that can only be conveyed through a little local knowledge. For mine however, Hautman brings ‘the plane in to land’ a tad too quick and so I was left feeling a little rushed and unresolved over the last few pages.
