Book Synopsis
Henry Miller called The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder his “most singular story.”

Trade Review
"A simple, decorous and somehow devout tale." -- The New York Times Book Review
"It is a modern parable. Like all good parables, it can have as many interpretations as there are readers. It has the magic of mystery, for which each reader must find his own clues and supply his own solution." -- Chicago Sunday Tribune
"It has shape, like a good poem; it has emotional density, delicacy of thought and beauty of language." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch
