Review
He is a writer of truly astonishing beauty and power. Not to know Wright Morris is not to know the silent, often lovely, stretches of ourselves. In these trackless, silent landscapes of the mind, we could have no better guide than Wright Morris. He may be the only guide we have. --Susan Fromberg Schaeffer, Chicago Tribune Book World
The Huge Season . . . seems to me his best novel. [Its] remarkable quality is the way in which the feel of the Twenties is captured and the way in which it dominates the characters into the Fifties . . . One has the sense here not only of the rich young man as sacrificial hero but also of the enacting of a ritual of exorcism to which all associated with the hero must submit. --Walter Allen, The Modern Novel
