"As a storyteller, he has a better ear for speech patterns, a better eye for details of dress and manners, and a more realistic feeling for the effects of physical and emotional deprivation than any contemporary"
-The Globe and Mail

"Author David Adams Richards is regarded as a rare voice of moral and spiritual certainty in the Canadian literary scene, rejecting the postmodern ambiguities of most of his fellow novelists and earning comparisons to Hardy, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy"
-The Toronto Star

"Richards has a knack for surprising fans with the unexpected, but his latest book is like a bolt from the blue"
-The Telegraph-Journal

"David Adams Richards holds a peculiar place in Canada’s literary pantheon. Going by honours and recognition, he’s an insider’s insider ... But in just about everything truly important he’s as outside the tent as can be"
-Macleans

"A gut-wrenching psychological journey into his own heart"
-The Vancouver Sun

"Richards fearlessly weighs in on the side of a greater being’s spiritual reality. It’s a healthy antidote to the know-it-all... Dawkinses and Hitchenses of this world. Better still, he’s even angrier than either of those famous atheists."
