Critical Praise

"Marvelously written. . . . A worthy addition to Lightman's work."

——Rocky Mountain News

"Haunting. . . . He has a Proustian concern for manipulations of time and memory . . . [a] melancholy grasp of the sovereign ineluctability of time, that ‘hour of eternity.' . . . Such a rueful consciousness is a pleasure to witness."

——Boston Globe

"One of a handful of writers in America capable of injecting the necessary quietude into his prose. . . . Reunion is that rare thing in this age: a genuine work of art."

——Denver Post

"Elegant . . . spare, economical and charged with meaning ."

——The New York Times Book Review
