Some advance praise for The Wire Donkey
With The Wire Donkey, Charlie Dickinson offers a kaleidoscopic tour of the Pacific Northwest--from hipster Eugene to alternative lifestyle Portland--in a bildungsroman with an edge.
--J. Sydney Jones, author of the Viennese Mystery series, including Requiem in Vienna and The Empty Mirror
The Wire Donkey captures the essense of Generation Y.
--Antonio Graceffo, author of The Monk from Brooklyn
Dickinson shows the honesty and vibrancy of youth with a voice all his own. The Wire Donkeyis about the search for meaning, and in the end it finds it.
--Edgar Nicaud, author of Tremble + Ennui
