Editorial Reviews:
Review:"[T]he opening chapters of this memoir evince...an energetic love of language and an eye for social detail....About halfway through, however, the book begins a steep nose dive. We come to realize that Mr. Moody has been slyly withholding information from us, and that many of his digressions are...free-associative riffs adding up to nothing but hot air....All of [this] suggests....that, halfway through, Mr. Moody abandoned the effort to transform self-indulgent fragments into something that might properly be called a book."
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 05/13/2002
Review:"Rich Moody is a gifted writer whose dense prose can be extremely evocative. When he's actually telling a story, he keeps you right in the palm of his hand, and THE BLACK VEIL has some really magnificent passages....It's a shame that, despite all these virtues, THE BLACK VEIL is an unsuccessful book. Personal history can be self-revelatory, but Moody's is too self-obsessed. He recounts every rambling thought that eve entered his head, so that reading this book [is] often excruciatingly dull and unmitigatedly narcissistic."
Andrew Solomon, Bookforum, Summer 2002
