About this title

Review:

"For a writer who described himself only as a 'yearner' after religion, the pervasive spirituality in the work of Robert Penn Warren has always been a vexed issue for the critical reader. Robert Koppelman has clarified that murky subject better than most critics in his steadily illuminating book; his superb treatment of A Place to Come To, Warren's summary fiction, is the finest I've see."--James H.
