"The Restorationist: Text One is the real thing, a text of bliss: brilliant, seductive, deceitful. It's in dialogue with everybody, from the most recent post-structuralist theorists to its own readers, a thoroughly postmodern work that is also—and for the same reasons— in the great tradition of the European intellectual novel."—Molly Hite"The Restorationist is a wonderful novel that does precisely what I think a novel should do—it engages questions of life and literature in a way that is entertaining, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally moving. The text works on so many levels simultaneously that there is much here for any reader to consider. Like all good fiction, it continues to function in the mind long after the reader has read the last page. My thanks to the author(s)." — Welch D. Everman"Author! Author! The Restorationist could best be described as a Felliniesque staging of narrative voices on a fictional proscenium placed between the conventional backdrop of the traditional novel and the orchestral pit of academic criticism. An intensely funny encounter between a property owner and a woman of letters who together turn an ante-bellum house into a post-realist experiment. Very witty, very carefully wrought, it sets into motion a dialogic process which explodes public and private spaces of the haunted house of fiction. A delight to explore and make one's own!"—Nelly Furman
