Industry Reviews"['Field of Vision'] occupies a key position in the Morris canon, for it examines several recurrent themes: the relativity of all knowledge, nostalgia and the general problem of the past, the possibilities of human transformation, and the role of heroism.""Wright Morris: A Reader" - Granville Hicks (01/01/1970)"The bull ring is a curious mirror but Morris makes it an effective one. And if his symbols are not always totally convincing, that silly kiss so long ago, for example, his characterizations are superb. Despite the roadblocks, the novel deserves a wide audience."Chicago Tribune - V. P. Hass (10/07/1956)"This theme has been at the heart of some of our finest novels, but Mr. Morris has endowed it with the originality of his special talent and the freshness of his contemporary American concerns. It would in fact be hard to call to mind another novelist of Mr. Morris' generation who has been able to sustain through such a large body of work so clear a vision of the essence of the American experience, and to project it over and over again without once being tempted to afford his readers the kind of easy comfort that pays off in popular reputation."New York Times - J. W. Aldridge (09/30/1956)eBay Product ID: EPID1294945
