Synopsis:

Reissue.


Review:

"[This is] a lavishly talented, often impressive work, clearly [Gardner's] best book since 'Grendel'....Whatever its excesses and miscalculations, 'October Light' remains a powerful and often admirable performance."

Robert Towers, New York Times Book Review, 12/12/76

Review:

"With splendid invention (including a marvelous novel within the novel), precise and emphatically drawn characters, superb writing, Gardner explores people and a place uniquely American....This is a strong and lovely book, probing deeply into the soul and profoundly touching the reader with both the poverty and riches discovered therein."

Thomas Bedell, Library Journal, 03/01/77
