Kirkus raved: "A brilliant black writer's harsh education in reality, a search for a lost sibling and the history of 'a radical organization [created] to scare white America' are the primary ingredients of the third bulky thriller from Carter. The serpentine plot spans two decades of the previous century's history, beginning in 1954... Carter keeps the pot boiling energetically, and surprises leap out until this very long (but never dull) novel's penultimate page. The so-called masters of the genre could learn something from Carter's intoxicating blend of political street smarts and literary skill. This is Grade-A entertainment." Library Journal said: "In his previous novels (New England White; The Emperor of Ocean Park), Yale law professor Carter has delighted in bending genres. His latest is no exception, at once a hyperbolic thriller and a subtle and convincing comedy of manners." And Publishers Weekly called it "...a subtle and intelligent page-turner." | |
