"I would maybe like to be Bone, from Russell Banks’s “Rule of the Bone,” but only for that briefest of idylls where he lives with I-Man and Froggy in the abandoned school bus. It’s a credit to Banks’s writing that this abandoned school bus remains one of the most credible depictions of a terrestrial heaven that I’ve encountered in a novel."
