PRAISE
for William Gough's Books: "Gough’s writing is...poignant, spare,
with the strength and subtlety of a fine woodcut..." E.
Annie Proulx
Praise For "The
Terra Nova Quartet"
"William
Gough brings it...straight from the heart. Gough is a
first-rate wordsmith. His stories flow with wit and
intelligence. His unique blend of esoteric poetry and hard-line
narrative shines a bright light on the human condition. In
short, Gough is a true literary artist. No collection of books,
private or public, is complete without his extraordinary
Quartet." Michael Kanaly – author of “Thoughts
of God,” “ Virus Clans” “The Voice Within” and “Room One”

Thank you to my mother and father & to their parents for making
books more important than things. Thanks, as well, to my
parents for letting me know that science & all thought is
experiential.
