“The Dig offers both a vividly reimagined slice of history and a tantalizing rumination on what remains after we cease to exist.” —Booklist “Intensely human…[The Dig] constantly reminds us, rediscovering the past is a deeply equivocal pursuit…Preston keeps an iron grip on the reader’s attention…a wonderful, evocative book. From his simple tale of dirt, Preston has produced the finest gold.”
