Praise for Rustin Larson's Red Wing:

The stories are beautiful. I think you've made your mark as a writer of the Iowa landscape, particularly in winter, and small town life. These stories heavily affected by place are so memorable and poignant, plus often funny too.

--Suzanne Rhodenbaugh

I'm enjoying the stories. I especially have liked "Pearl Harbor," "The Incomplete History of The Village of Orilla," "Lola," and "Road Trip." I love the sense of place throughout the collection. Can really feel the landscape. The evoking with sensual images is also strong, as well as the use of dialogue.

--Michael Carrino
