From Library Journal
This is a coming-of-age novel set in the turbulent 1960s. Peace Corps volunteer Bobby Comstock is stationed in rural Korea to teach English at a middle school. Comstock's adjustment to Korean life, his loneliness, and his coming to terms with his own haphazard personality are presented with a faint overlay of philosophy in an attempt to broaden and deepen the context. While interest in Comstock and a few finely drawn minor characters carries the reader to the conclusion, Wiley promises more than he delivers, holding out hope that Bobby will reach a kind of enlightenment--and perhaps he does, but not with enough punch to satisfy this reader. By the author of Fools' Gold ( LJ 9/15/88) and winner of the 1987 PEN/Faulkner Award for Soldiers in Hiding .
