Title: American Homer?..... epic in scale and ambition
Review: Magnificent! One of the best narrative tales in American literary history. Hope, abandonment,impassioned love, pure evil, friendship, loss...and above all the search for reason are unusually well embodied in this special book. I kept thinking that the old adage,"they just don't write 'em the way they used to" is absolutely on display here. And I'm not sure even with all the writing talent that is out there that it would be possible to write this kind of book today - the moralizing and questioning is vintage mid 20th century. Wonderful author, wonderful book, wonderful residual memories.
