Reviews
"Inside the book, the reader encounters teeming, charged emotions, dark and active with pain. Coleman Dowell... has evidenced courage and invention in creating a work of art so original and difficult as to be alive to baffling and baffled perceptions." -- Edmund White, New York Times, "This is a novel to take time over and to savor for its psychological insight and melancholia." -- Gay Times
