Review
Marvelous. . . . Baxter's prose trenchant, funny, and apt to turn on a metaphysical dime remains one of the pure pleasures of American fiction. The Atlantic Monthly
For the past twenty years, Baxter has been writing some of the finest fiction in America about love, longing and the holes we carve in one another's hearts. . . . [Saul and Patsy is] eerily beautiful. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Baxter at his best. He is an observer and writer of prodigious giftsE. A disquieting, thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable novel. The Seattle Times
"A tale of generations at war and the troubled underside of placid Midwestern life . . . abounding in irony and wit, and reminiscent of Bernard Malamud and Saul Bellow." San Francisco Chronicle
Baxter reminds us that there is no regional monopoly on virtue and understanding, and no easy comforts for either self-appointed world-savers or smug populists. And for all those hard lessons, Baxter also manages to deliver Saul and Patsy into something astonishingly close to a happy ending. Such indeed is the glory of love--and of fully realized fiction. The Washington Post Book World
One of our most gifted writers. Chicago Tribune
"Thoughts sprawl delightfully, insanely, worryingly and sometimes brilliantly from Saul, who, we often have to remind ourselves, is only in his twenties. . . . Funny and grown-up and generous." The New York Times Book Review
"Charles Baxter's novel Saul and Patsy is what it appears to be--a love story. But underneath its placid surface broils biting social commentary, a tale of lost teenagers adrift in a culture with no moral center." The Oregonian
"Saul and Patsy [is] a penetrating, surprisingly funny meditation on the dynamics of community belonging and acceptance." The New York Times
"[Baxter] weaves magic into everyday life as if it were mere coincidence. Clark Kent is to Superman as Charles Baxter is to his writing." Los Angeles Times
"It is rare that a novel, even a good one, manages to evoke contemporary life without being self-conscious about it. But that is what Baxter achieves here." The New Yorker
"Watch out for the 'quiet Midwestern' tag on [Baxter's] writing: That's the iceberg you will strike. There is nothing simple in his universe, and nothing solely on the surface. Baxter's intelligence and humor are submerged, and dangerous. You know--something like yours." Detroit Free Press
"Baxter . . . make[s] the mundane seem marvelous, the everyday seem extraordinary. . . . A clever and empathetic writer." The Capital Times
"On almost every page at least one sentence would make me stop and shake my head in amazement and wonder. . . . Few lessons can be more valuable than a sense of how important the persistence of questioning must be to any fully realized human life. Few novels manage to renew that important sense so vividly and poignantly as Saul and Patsy." Logan Browning, Houston Chronicle
"Both hilarious and poignant." The Dallas Morning News
"Baxter defies the laws of publishing gravity: He went up and has yet to come down. . . . Baxter's new novel is just as bright and fully imagined, just as energetic as anything that came before." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Brilliantly exploring the emotional intricacies of a young marriage, Charles Baxter's latest novel, Saul and Patsy, uncannily exposes the least flattering side of human desire while celebrating the inexplicable power that love has over our lives." Rocky Mountain News
"A warm, sad, subtle tale of difficult love." O, The Oprah Magazine
"Baxter's store of figurative language and rich, apt description is essentially boundless, and he draws generously from it for all the characters." St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"More proof that Baxter is one of the best novelists anywhere. Every line packs a double punch--what it apparently means and what it really means." Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Charles Baxter has a uniquely keen eye for the seemingly minor, ultimately telling, detail." The Denver Post
"Baxter is a gifted, humane novelist." Newsday
