"Petrakis...reveals the gifts of warmth, sympathy, and imagination that have won him a devoted following. Plagued by family and personal crises, repeatedly plunged into panic and despair about his difficulties with his self-imposed task, Petrakis surmounts every problem...and reaches his goal in a state of exultation such as only creative artists can achieve."-Booklist
"In his tales...violence is measured by brotherhood, passionate hate by passionate love. And in the end it is man who, despite his weaknesses and his blindness, has the right to victory." -Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate
"I've always thought Harry Mark Petrakis to be a leading American novelist."-John Cheever
"I've often thought what a wonderful basketball team could be formed from Petrakis' characters. Every one of them is at last fourteen feet tall."-Kurt Vonnegut
