Lyric of the Circle Heart: The Bowman Family Trilogy (American Literature (Dalkey Archive)) - Softcover

"Eastlake's prairie-hard prose is as pure and clean as the wind-sanded land that fosters it." --?Ken Kesey

" "Lyric of the Circle Heart" puts on a fine, fleshy display of fantastic characters, biting wit and the best conversations you've ever heard (let alone read).... Since these novellas deal with race, loneliness and alienation, they might easily be tragedies. Perhaps they are. But if so, they're the most deftly humorous tragedies ever written." --? "Weekly Alibi"

"Mr. Eastlake's language is direct and simple, and the effect he creates is one of urgency, as though time were running out." --?"New Yorker"
