Reviews
This is an impressive, bold, ambitious book, an unforgettable epic that confidently navigates big themes and breaks your heart with small tragedies., Henderson's firm understanding of rural Montana and its residents reminds one of Kent Haruf's novels set in Colorado, but, as if Cormac McCarthy has come to town, there's an undercurrent of violence and vice throbbing throughout the story. Henderson understands the explosive possibilities of having those tensions surface., 'This book left me awestruck; a stunning debut which reads like the work of a writer at the height of his power? Fourth of July Creek is a masterful achievement and Smith Henderson is certain to end up a household name.'

I cannot think of a finer first novel; it's hard, in fact, to think of a finer second, third, or fourth one, either., [A] stunningly accomplished debut novel … Henderson's narrative enthralls, his dialogue crackles, and on the considerable strength of this, a promising literary career beckons., Fourth of July Creek is an extremely dark book, but Henderson's lyrical sentences lend an elegance-an importance-to the lives of his fictional children. By tenderly portraying horrible family secrets, Henderson is able to illuminate the richness and possibility in even the most painful lives., Tremendously satisfying-think Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone...or Jimmy McNulty...set...in...another kind of violent American wilderness...[a] mesmerizing accomplishment.

Its scope is audacious, its range virtuosic, its gaze steady and true. A riveting story written in a seductive and relentlessly authentic rural American vernacular, this is the kind of novel I wish I'd written., Probably the most significant book to come from a Portland writer in the past year is Smith Henderson's Fourth of July Creek… one of the most assured and accomplished debut novels in recent memory, right up there with Zadie Smith's White Teeth. The book… is both savage and beautiful., Tremendously satisfying--think Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone...or Jimmy McNulty...set...in...another kind of violent American wilderness...[a] mesmerizing accomplishment. I cannot think of a finer first novel; it's hard, in fact, to think of a finer second, third, or fourth one, either., The myth of rugged individualism crumbles…at the side of the body of water that gives Henderson's debut novel, Fourth of July Creek, its name…Henderson's saga of looking for salvation by way of saving others is lyrical, suspenseful, and heartbreaking. Not all can be rescued, but we can all be redeemed., Born and raised in Montana, author Smith Henderson knows the terrain and its people, crafting a profoundly American tale that explores our love for freedom, our individualism and the price people sometimes pay., A soul-wrenching debut novel... Henderson's talents lie in the tenderness and empathy he extends to (almost) every character in the book, no matter how damaged., Breathtaking...heartbreaking…Henderson's immersive, colorful style makes this scenic journey worthwhile. He's a curious kind of hard-boiled poet - part Raymond Chandler, part Denis Johnson., On a political level, Henderson skillfully presages the contemporary political environment in his portrayal of the America of three decades ago. On a deeper level, this dark, compassionate novel finds in Jeremiah's-and Pete's-pain a mirror of everyone's. This is a significant debut., Fourth of July Creek is an astonishing read. The writing is energetic and precise. Henderson has a mastery of scale that allows this particular place and these particular people to illuminate who we are as Americans...I could not recommend this book more highly., Fourth of July Creek is the beautifully written story of a flawed man trying to save children from bad people like himself… a richly satisfying novel and well worth its reader's time., My favorite book of 2014, Smith Henderson's Fourth of July Creek , is out in paperback... which gives me another chance to recommend it. This exciting, beautifully written debut novel describes the travails of Pete Snow, a social worker in Montana struggling to save damaged families - including his own.
Synopsis
In this shattering and iconic American novel, PEN prize-winning writer, Smith Henderson explores the complexities of freedom, community, grace, suspicion and anarchy, brilliantly depicting our nation's disquieting and violent contradictions. After trying to help Benjamin Pearl, an undernourished, nearly feral eleven-year-old boy living in the Montana wilderness, social worker Pete Snow comes face to face with the boy's profoundly disturbed father, Jeremiah. With courage and caution, Pete slowly earns a measure of trust from this paranoid survivalist itching for a final conflict that will signal the coming End Times. But as Pete's own family spins out of control, Pearl's activities spark the full-blown interest of the F.B.I., putting Pete at the center of a massive manhunt from which no one will emerge unscathed.
