Pierce - John Jay Stancliff

August 16, 2026 · 1 h 27 min

Show notes

Pierce is a just-released novel by John Jay Stancliff, and you should buy it. Following multiple generations of the Collier family, it is a tightly-paced examination of our contingent place in the world, our inevitable mistakes in forming something fixed in such contingency, and the burden of subsequent generations to repeat our mistakes. It also includes some of the tensest depictions of combat I've come across, family drama, romantic drama, and construction. A lot of construction. Honey from the lion's mouth.
Come for the carpentry jargon, stay for the military jargon!
