Review:
PRAISE FOR "JAMESTOWN"
"A work of hectic brilliance and immense sadness."--Laura Miller, "Salon"
"Sharpe's wit relies primarily on the juxtaposition of profundity and silliness, tragedy and absurdity, a kind of "Catch-22 "about the 17th century for the 21st century. Jamestown is packed with marvelous material, moving and funny and deeply provocative."--"The Washington Post Book World"
