| Professional Reviews | Braudy, Leo, New York Times Book Review: "...'G' in addition to its vividly portrayed characters and the crashing immediacy of its historical setting, is a complex novel of ideas that sets off in the reader meditations about sex, history and the nature of the novel....'G' belongs to the tradition of George Eliot, Tolstoy, D.H.Lawrence..., the tradition of fallible wisdom, rich, nagging, and unfinished." |
