Pulitzer Prize Winner Robert Olen Butler praises my novel The Good Son

'Paul McVeigh brilliantly achieves a very difficult thing: he turns a coming of age novel into high art, with complex yearnings. His young Mickey Donnelly navigates the Trouble like Huck Finn navigates the Mississippi River, prematurely becoming a fully-flighted adult and thereby letting us see the human condition through penetratingly fresh eyes. The Good Son is a work of genius from a splendid writer.'
