Book Synopsis
Webb's The Garies and Their Friends."-from the 1997 introduction by Robert Reid-Pharr

Trade Review
That this American classic does not occupy a prominent place in the literary canon is not really a mystery, though it is a shame. Its subject is not the almost invisible flaw in a golden bowl carved from pristine crystal, but the visible fracture in our American ideal; its scarlet letter is the color of our skin. -- Jamaica Kincaid O The Oprah Magazine
