Trade ReviewA masterpiece of formal beauty … deserves to be recognized as one of the most outstanding novels of our time. * The New Statesmen *
Great novel of the broken South. * The New Statesmen *
A psychological horror story … concerned with life rather than death, with significance rather than with futility.
The story displays so much imagination and such a profound reflection upon life that it cannot be neglected by anyone interested in contemporary literature.
It is one of the most remarkable novels of our time … The Fathers is in fact the novel Gone with the Wind ought to have been.
