A remarkable book ... [McCullers] writes with a sweep and certainty that are overwhelming * The New York Times *
Of all the Southern writers, she is the most apt to endure -- Gore Vidal
Again [McCullers] shows a sort of subterranean and ageless instinct for probing the hidden in men's hearts and minds * New York Herald-Tribune *
