""I think it ironic that critics at large have been bemoaning the fact that American literature has produced no counterpart to James Joyce in vision and structure and that such a person has now appeared within the ranks of Afro-American literature. This is a book for the ages."" —Gloria Naylor “More than a saga of Black revitalization . . . Part vision, part parable, it is a story for all America.” —John Bierhorst, The New York Times Book Review ""Carolivia Herron has written a swirling and terrifying epic. It works out a vision of national damnation rising, as inevitably as the damnation of the House of Atreus, from America’s original sin of slavery."" —Richard Dyer, Los Angeles Times ""Bold and brilliant, this lyrical first novel is a compelling modern epic, an allegory of civilization revealed in the pain and passions of an educated African American family."" —Publishers Weekly
