Industry Reviews
"The noted film critic David Thomson tries to wrap his mind around this strange Place in his new book, IN NEVADA....Thomson travels from the empty northwest corner of Nevada to garish Las Vegas in search of this elusive state, or state of mind. The odd, evocative book that results--not quite a history, not really a travelogue--chronicles his musings on Nevada....He brings a cinematic sensibility to his quest, always on the look out for gangsters, the Rat Pack and the next best vista....Thomson does eloquent justice to [N]evada contradictions--and insists on their place in the national psyche."
Hartigan
"When Thomson writes a book, it is time for a celebration....No doubt Thomson could take any topic, even Nevada, and start the old gray cells jumping, for he believes in stories and 'in very little except those who believe in stories.'"
Booklist (09/15/1999)
"Thomson's pointed research and knack for storytelling bring Nevada's vast reaches and pungent corners to life."
Bloomsbury Review - Ann McCutchan
