Jim Harrison is a writer with immortality in him.
"Publishers Weekly"
Entertaining, moving, and memorable...a cast of fascinating characters.
"The Boston Globe"
Harrison's stories move with random power and reach in the manner of Melville and Faulkner.
"The Washington Post Book World"
Dalva...is that rare fictional creation, a character whom the reader dearly would love to meet.
Louise Erdrich
"The Chicago Tribune"
Monumental...Bighearted, an unabashedly romantic love story...There is no putting aside "Dalva,"
"San Francisco Chronicle"
A fascinating novel about an American woman...Harrison uses his pen as a sword to right wrongs and settle scores....He takes bigger risks, letting go of old habits and surrendering to his own impassioned imagination.
"The Los Angeles Times Book Review"
Jim Harrison's "Dalva" is the story of a remarkable modern woman's search for her son....Harrison beautifully conveys Dalva's essential femininity...Dalva asserts that she has never been seduced -- has always, subtly, done the seducing of lovers herself...Harrison's "Dalva" may well seduce you, too.
Louise Erdich
"Chicago Tribune"
Fascinating...a work of humor and a unified lament....Voices that cut through time and cross the barriers of culture and gender to achieve a work in chorus ...there is no putting aside "Dalva" until the time bombs go off, the identities are revealed, and the skeletons almost literally tumble from the closets..."Dalva" is suspended in its own beauty...a book to...read with trust and exuberance.
"The New York Times Book Review"
Harrison's storytelling instincts are nearly flawless...The people in "Dalva" reemerge as full-blooded individuals who almost incidentally embody much of the innocence, carelessness, and urgency that played so large a part in the settling of this country. Best of all, perhaps, are Mr. Harrison's descriptions of the land -- the untamed deserts, plains, forests, and arroyos of what was once the Western frontier...tough but rhapsodic language.
The London Sunday Times Jim Harrison is a writer with immortality in him.
