Ulysses reviews "Down the River" by J. Scott Coatsworth, River City book 2:

"Anyone who ever read Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City will appreciate this book... I was moved to tears more than once, because everything seemed to spark a memory, or a familiar resonance, with my own lived experience. 5 stars."

QSFer J. Scott Coatsworth has a new queer contemporary magical realism book out: Down the River.

Nine years have passed since a group of strangers first met at a magical little restaurant in East Sacramento called Ragazzi. They have all been touched by its subtle magic, and have become a family.

Estora reviews "Down the River" by J. Scott Coatsworth:

"I am truly in awe of Coatsworth's prolific writing, which never comes at the cost of quality. Down the River is a beautiful and gentle story with high emotions and lyrical prose. It is real and magical, touching and deeply personal."
