“In The Moth for the Star, James Reich grips the reader from the first page and doesn’t let go. Across sweeping landscapes and eras, from the 1929 market crash to post-apocalyptic environmental ruin, Reich builds a narrative storm that is menacing, inventive, and beautifully blade-sharp.” – Anne Valente
