Beskrivning

These astonishing stories deal with people in crisis or at turning points in their lives. Possessed by moods they barely understand, these characters confront moments of choice that determine their identities or self-worth. Typically, they are not equal to such moments, and the stories, which range from Palm Beach to Paris to a New York hotel room, trace the designs, delusions and sometimes painful fluttering of souls in turmoil.

Recensioner i media

"An important book...Even his detractors will not read such disparate novels as Greene's The Quiet American or Solzhenitsyn's The First Circle in quite the same way again. This, as much as anything else, is what 'critical authority' finally means." - The Georgia Review "Boyers has written a compelling study, one that convincingly demonstrates that the political novel is a category that is not only worth our consideration but is essential to any intelligent, imaginative reflection on politics in the modern world." - Southern Humanities Review"
