“A dud of the first magnitude…”

Saturday Review

Something Happened

“…surely it’s time to declare a moratorium on brain-damaged children used as metaphors for mental and emotional decay.”

Library Journal

“…a self-indulgent ventilation of private spleen…Heller operates as if he were a jewel thief wearing boxing gloves.”

Newsweek
