Industry Reviews "[Kennedy's] tough-minded and defiant humanism has left me chastened but feeling good. My guess is that it will have the same effect on many readers." New York Times Book Review - George Stade (01/23/1983)
"Kennedy is an exuberant writer who likes to try out different styles, and he succeeds so well so much of the time that I was quite won over. It is extremely satisfying to come upon a new novelist, so resourcefully assured in his command of language and place." New Republic - William H. Pritchard (02/14/1983)
