"TONY AND SUSAN is
marvelously written - the last
thing you would expect in a
story of blood and revenge.
Beautiful!"
-Saul Bellow
"In
this intriguing accomplished novel, the author combines a
stark take on a
film noir
theme with a postmodern meditation
on the act of reading. Wright infuses this excellent work with
resonating observations about the reality of violence, where the
loss of humanity is the price of revenge, and the 'reality' of
fiction and its place and power in day-to-day life."
-Publishers
Weekly
"A thriller, a critique of violence, and an
inquisition
of our
reading lives: such versatility is no surprise to the fans of
Wright's fiction (and of his literary theory), but now he has
transcended these separable notions and created, as in our
national emblem, From Many One. A truly scandalous
achievement - remembering that a scandal is a stumbling
block, the event that stops you in your tracks."
-Richard Howard
