Review
Someday [Blei’s] Door County will join the great mythical-real landscapes that include Salinas, Spoon River, and Yoknapatawpha.” Harry Mark Petrakis
Norbert Blei is a writer the way people used to be troubadours and minstrels, celebrating what he has seen and heard and felt in a deceptively simple style reminiscent of the early Sherwood Anderson. . . . Like Anderson, he is a lover, and his affection invests his writing with a singular charm.” Sydney J. Harris
Blei’s friends and neighbors have not escaped the world; they are very much a part of it, involved in the vital issues of our times.” Publishers Weekly
Blei has a fine ear and a genuine, searching, feeling humanity.” Chicago Tribune
A fascinating assemblage of profiles that adds up to a vivid, feeling portrait of a region.” Studs Terkel
“Blei’s finely wrought story of a Door County car salesman . . . is just one of the Door Way stories that put Blei in the ranks of Faulkner et alia.”—River Falls Journal
