Damnation of Theron Ware

"I had not read THERON WARE in more than twenty years, and, taking it up again recently, with only a blurred memory of the tragicomic odyssey of its feckless hero, I wasn't quite prepared for the novel's warm, intelligent good humor, its complex and ambiguous story, its shrewd, disturbing insights into the human psyche. and what an inspired ending, with a special significance for the present time--when, as a phrase from the book would have it, 'talk is what tells' in our national politics, as in the more manipulative quarters of populist religion."Frederic, Harold is the author of 'Damnation of Theron Ware', published 1996 under ISBN 9780674190016 and ISBN 0674190017.
