Editorial Reviews:
Review:

"DESTINY is written as a continuous internal monologue, one that is wandering yet repetitive and obsessive. paragraphs go on for three or four pages and are occasionally reminiscent of Samuel Beckett or Thomas Bernhard, though Parks doesn't benefit from such comparisons."

Geoff Nicholson, New York Times Book Review, 06/25/2000

Review:

"...DESTINY turns out to be a study in depth of the egotistical sublime, or the egotistical tormented, in the figure of its narrator and protagonist."

D.J. Enright, New York Review of Books, 08/10/2000
