Fiction. "Davidson is a wonderful writer, a real find. There are a lot of writers out there who can put a story together and make the surfaces of their work gleam. What is special about Davidson's stories is something else altogether. He has the ability to make you care deeply about his characters. They become, for all their occasional quirkiness, as real as the folks next door."—Steve Yarbrough
"The superlative story 'Criminals' is layered and old-fashioned, if there is such a thing. It immediately distinguishes itself by being patient and operating by way of the reluctant voice. [Davidson] is tolerant of the real ambiguities we muddle through to be human. 'Criminals' is a good big story and I recommend its nuanced pleasures to your healthy attention spans."—Ron Carlson
