• WILLIAM BARREn:
"In reading Brossard's book I felt the
direct grip of experience throughout. For me, it is an unforgettable
picture of life in Greenwich Village."
• THE NATION:
"Brossard's book hits straight to the center ••• the
world he recreates pulses with a true beat."
• WILLIAM POSTER:
"A remarkably fresh and fluent talent de-
scribes a new aspect of the contemporary scene."
• THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER:
"Many novels attempt to use
New York as a theme. However, very few authors succeed. Among
these is Chandler Brossard. who has written a tremendous story of
the city."
• ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH:
"There is honest sensitivity, a
measure of universality, and much excellent writing in 'Who Walk in
Darkness,' The only recent novel I can think of to compare it with is
'The Catcher in the Rye',"
