<p><b>A <i>NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW </i>EDITORS¿ CHOICE AND PAPERBACK ROW</b><br><b><br>¿[Holleran¿s] new novel is all the more affecting and engaging because the images of isolation and old age here are haunted . . . In 1978 Holleran wrote the quintessential novel about gay abandon, the sheer, careless pleasure of it: <i>Dancer from the Dance</i>. Now, at almost eighty years of age, he has produced a novel remarkable for its integrity, for its readiness to embrace difficult truths and for its complex way of paying homage to the passing of time.¿ ¿Colm T¿ib¿ <i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br><br><b>¿It¿s rare to find fiction that takes this kind of dying of the light as its subject and doesn¿t make its heroes feel either pathetic or polished with a gleam of false dignity . . . This sad, beautiful book captures the sensations Holleran¿s characters are chasing¿as well as the darkness that inevitably comes for them, and us.¿ ¿Mark Athitakis,<i> Los Angeles Times</i></b><br><b
