The Book of Daniel

Praise for The Book of Daniel

“A ferocious feat of the imagination … Every scene is perfectly realized and feeds into the whole — the themes and symbols echoing and reverberating.”

— Newsweek

“The political novel of our age … the best work of its kind.”

— The New Republic

“A gripping, emotionally intense novel that beautifully describes the idealism of a generation rapidly being forgotten and contrasts it with a later radicalism … a novel of and for the present, one that throws light on America today and does so with a spare, brilliant intensity. This is an important work, one not to be missed.”

— Los Angeles Times

“Like reading a capsule history of the American left in the twentieth century … Public knowledge comes face to face with personal private pain, and the result is staggering.”

— Chicago Tribune

“Remarkable … brilliant … one of the finest works of fiction in recent years.”

— Minneapolis Star Tribune

“A dazzlingly good novel … about politics, past and present, and, most importantly, about a man’s life.”

— Boston Herald

“It is a daring theme: What would happen to the children who had watched FBI agents take their parents from a New York apartment, were shunted from foster homes to shelters, visited their parents in a death house, grew up in a manic historical period…. This is an extraordinary contemporary novel, a stunning work.”

— San Francisco Chronicle

“Stirring, brilliant, very moving.”

— The Houston Post
