Review:
"Douglas Bauer is a novelist of enormous power and boundless talent."--William Kennedy
"From his supple prose to his common touch, one can detect in Douglas Bauer a substantial talent. The genius of "Dexterity "is that it is scrupulously organized and yet seamless in its narrative structure. In other words, Mr. Bauer is himself extremely dexterous."--"New York Times Book Review"
"An altogether stunning debut. . . . Bauer's prose is rich, startlingly resonant and stylistically powerful."--"The Detroit News"
