Reviews

""Inventive and daring...a fascinating sensibility."" --Richard Bernstein, The New York Times ""The Women is a book to read several times, noting how its application grows broader and broader upon consideration. Like all truly original writing, it comes to no conclusions, imposes no creed and sets the reader free to ponder. Writing of people who limited themselves and died of it, Mr. Als has overcome limits...On the strength of his vision, he has managed to enter those 'expansive interior places' his mentor avoided. One hopes that he will just keep going."" --Andrea Lee, The New York Times Book Review
