“A master class
in sparse, clear prose,
Fall Asleep Forgetting
is a compelling and mesmerizing read, infused with an elegiac ambience. It will
make you laugh and cry in equal measures. You’ll not fall asleep forgetting this
book.” –Sam Millar for The New York Journal of
Books
“The book
buzzes with passion.” –Kirkus
“The problem
is Packard’s writing is too good. Like a delicious meal, I couldn’t slow down
when it came to eating it up; devouring whole chapters at a time. What’s wrong
with that? In truth, this is a book meant to be savored slowly. The writing is
delectable, deliriously rich and expressive.” --Luna

“This is the
kind of reading experience I wait for. Fall Alseep Forgetting absolutely
charmed me by pulling me into Cherry Grove, a trailer park in the Northeast on
the shore….The authors description of food, place, and surroundings is
entrancing. I found myself looking forward to getting home just so I could pick
up where I left off…. Highly recommended.” –Library
Thing reviewer
"An intense, original, and thoroughly
grownup novel. In sensuous and poetic language,
Packard tells a powerful story of a group
of oddball characters joined only by place and a desire to in some way ease the
pain of a beautiful, doomed man. This novel resonates."
