    A book for tough guys who can still shed a tear
  

*by B***P on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2017*

This is one of the best books Larry Brown wrote and demonstrates his powers beautifully. If you like Larry Brown you will know he was one of the finest writers to emerge from the South in recent times. Now tragically deceased he had a singular voice and if you read one of his books you are guaranteed to want to read them all. Dirty Work is the story of two ex-servicemen who meet each other in a VA hospital. One is terribly wounded physically and the other mentally. No need to say any more. Just read this book I guarantee you it will affect you greatly. What I love about it is the humour. It has some of the funniest passages of anything he wrote but is still hugely moving. This - along with Joe, Big Bad Love, Fay, Father and Son and his first collection of stories, Facing the Music - are my favourite Larry Brown books. I have still not read On Fire, I am trying to keep that one in reserve. Powerhouse writer who was a huge influence on my own writing.

    Brown: down and dirty
  

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2012*

This early work by Larry Brown is one of his best, a fine example of 20th century American literature.  The novel is an intense, gritty and profound examination of the human experience in the modern world. As ususal in Brown's writing, the characters are vivid and very real; they are much like the people who surround us in our daily lives. The characters in Brown's novel are Southerners, but they are also Americans and could be from anywhere in the country, with the possible exception of certain major cities. Dirty Work is indeed a dirty work of art that forces the reader to deal with some very tough questions and hard realities that face people in modern America.  It is, perhaps, not for everyone, but if you are looking for the best works of contemporary American literature, this novel, and others by Larry Brown, would be well worth your time.

    Southern Wambaugh
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2007*

This period of the south and the steamy afternoons of country drama play all the cards for Family, Patriotism, Race, Class and long forgotten prejudices. Joseph Wambaugh took the rural north for a journey and recently departed Larry Brown does the same for the northern reaches of Mississippi.  Not an easy book to put down and not an easy set of emotions to find comfort in. Much like the works of author & Tennessee Sheriff David Hunter's works the less pleasant and the un-glossed image of the south remains.
