Review
"Simply put, Leon Forrest's massive masterpiece Divine Days is the War and Peace of the African-American novel." -- Henry Louis Gates "Almost every page offers abundant evidence that Leon Forrest is a writer of virtuosity and power... A landmark in the artistic representation of social and historical reality, a rich and complex entertainment that deserves our praise, respect and gratitude." -- Arnold Rampersad "An adventurous masterwork that provides our literature with a signal moment... This epic detective story pulls in elements of the Gothic, the tall tale, the parable, the philosophical argument, the novel of ideas, the history lesson, the novel of manners and the sort of close observation Balzac, Mann and Hemingway would have admired." -- Stanley Crouch "Divine Days is that rare thing in our self-conscious and ironic age-a full-out serious work of art." -- Sven Birkerts
