"In this wondrous minding and "unminding" of a unique narrator, Stevens creates a gritty loner who will become beloved in his rogue but ever observant attention to his simultaneously diminishing and expanding world. May we all be so lucky." -Anne-Marie Oomen, Michigan Author Award 2023-24, Michigan Notable Book Award recipient
"Bob Stevens applies a master's touch to the Last Island Almanac. The reader enters an unsettling world of strange beauty, described in the words of a poetic spirit making a last stand. The braiding of real and unreal in this enigmatic place will haunt readers long after they put the book down." -Dave Dempsey, Michigan Author Award 2009, Michigan Notable Book Award recipient
