Praise for The Last Studebaker
"[Robin Hemley] has infused just the right amount of humor and pathos into his exploration of how people discover and maintain connections in these bewildering times." (Cathy A. Colman, New York Times Book Review)
"The Last Studebaker is never gimmicky, and offers hope beyond economic and personal despair. It's not only the Studebaker, but life itself, that evokes rueful glances and missed opportunities, along with tenderness and unpredictable charm." (Rachel Schteir, Washington Post Book World)
"Robin Hemley has crafted a funny and brilliant novel, a portrait of America so accurate and perceptive that The Last Studebaker ought to be included in a time capsule labeled "America: 1963-1992."" (Judith Slater, Lincoln Journal-Star)
