Fiction. RE: MARRIAGE is the first novel from Bay Area writer John Norton. "I saw myself in the characters of John Norton's marvelous novel, in David's bitterness, in Susan's lonely abandon, in Laura's absence and mystery. I wanted to stop his hero from feeling so much, but so strong is the pull of Norton's writing that I turned off the novocaine and just pulled the handkerchiefs off of the shelf and out of the gift pack"--Kevin Killian.
