| Robbins is brilliant and eccentric and this book shows off his literary brilliance and his eccentricities. He very cleverly weaves his four seemingly disparate stories into an entertaining novel. Great stuff. | |

My absolutely favorite book of the year. I am disappointed that it did not receive the National Book Award, for which it was a finalist. Paul Fussell once said (and this is a fairly loose quote from memory) that it was impossible to speak clearly...

"THE DALLAS COWBOYS WELCOME HEROS OF AL-ANSAKAR CANAL!!!!!!!" is both a quote from, and a summary of, this literary novel that I loved and admired (keep this in mind the other 95% of the time, when I am petulantly disliking literary fiction).

| Faulkner is brilliant. He is a great writer. But he's not for me. I can't get beyond the mile-long, meandering sentences that go back and forth in time. Maybe I'm lazy, but I can't stay with it page after page after page. And this has been billed as...more | |

| Mallon’s a great storyteller and creates fully realized, nuanced characters—and lots of them. I followed the entire Watergate scandal very closely, listening to nearly all the hearings on the radio and then helping cover it (in a very minor way) whe...more | |

| Not much to recommend, I'm afraid. The book contains two reviews that came out when the book was originally published in '72. I agree with the one I agree with one by Jerry Bryant in The Nation. He said: this “is not an ambitious novel. It certainly...more | |
