Review title: Will appeal to any reader of fiction
Product review: Tales Out of School is a wonderful, able, mature first novel, easily one of the finest debuts in recent American fiction. As other reviewers have noted here, the prose is marvelous--delicate and sinuous--though the book is far from a stylistic exercise. Taylor's investment in language and his story are never at odds, one always seems dependent on the other. With intriguing asides on history and mythology, and a wide cast of characters, men and women of diverse age and temperament, Tales Out of School can be read in a day or two, for the book's pacing is as much of an achievement as its style. Both concise and languorous, it holds more power and intelligence than most novels three times its size.
