Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A compelling novel
about a survivor, shell-shocked by life, who just happens to be a sportswriter
the way Willy Loman just happens to be a salesman…Ford is writing about modern
uncommitted man, lashing himself to the railing of mundane daily life, trying
to get through the storm.” —New York Times
“With its small
gallery of sharply drawn characters, its seep vision of the way we live, its
forceful and often soaring, sometimes downright moving way of speech, and its
reverberating, redemptive plot, Ford’s novel overcomes an excess of virtues…with
a deftness and intensity that we find in few books.” —Los Angeles Herald Examiner
“An appreciation of
the mystery of things as they are.” —Time
“As humane a novelist
as America can offer.” —Kansas City Star
“Without intruding on
the very real momentum of his many characters, Ford lifts his story into the
realm of fable.” —Village Voice
