Kirkus Reviews reviewed Rebecca Rukeyser’s anticipated debut novel THE SEAPLANE ON FINAL APPROACH. They praise: “It is a testament to the power and subtlety of Rukeyser’s writing that the novel’s violent climax, though preceded largely by a sense of quietude throughout, does not feel surprising or out of place; it is simply the result of the building social tensions and sense of desperation among the group and of a particular landscape whose compelling beauty—the author shows us—conceals dangerous potential. The obviously talented Rukeyser has crafted a vividly beautiful and odd world…[with] descriptive and imagistic prose. This darkly compelling novel promises more interesting writing to come from Rukeyser.” Doubleday will publish the novel on June 7, 2022.
