Editorial Reviews

There is something bracing about the sincerity of his style…a style that serves his general purpose of stripping life to the bone with a thin, sharp knife that lays open to view the normal flesh and the healthy flow of blood as well as the cancerous sore beneath.
—Leslie A. Marchand, in The New York Times
