Crane's View is a trilogy of novels written by American author Jonathan Carroll from 1997 to 2001, published by Nan A. Talese/Doubleday. All three books in the series take place in the small town of Crane's View. While there is some character overlap, each book focuses on a new main character and their story. [1] The books received reviews that ranged from average to good. Between all three novels, Carroll has been nominated three times and placed twice for various novel and fantasy book awards. [2]
Kirkus Reviews called Kissing the Beehive a beautifully blended story with a "smashing and surprising climax." [3]
Charles de Lint praised The Marriage of Sticks as "classic Carroll: witty, wise, strange, elusive, immediate", declaring that "it also continues his recent trend of producing endings as satisfying as one could hope for from the quality of how the novels begin and the stories build." [4]
Katherine Dunn says that "The Wooden Sea is a treat, and I'm heading out to look for more Jonathan Carroll titles. Frannie, the worldly war-stung small town cop, hits classic status for me. His luminously hard-boiled American voice is smart, funny, and devastatingly decent. Kind of guy you're glad to follow anywhere--even into the strange zones of The Wooden Sea.” [5]
