I’m a little late getting this posted, but review David Breithaupt has some lovely things to say about Killing the Murnion Dogs over at Newpages. From the review:

At his best, Wilkins recalls the rural flavor of Wendell Berry, but in a world all his own. Read him. This is your life; wrap your cracked hands around this book.
