"[Matthiessen's] evocation of the jungle is powerful, but no more remarkable than his insight into the people he portrays. He tells a fascinating story, and tells it well....It is this firm but subtle evocation of strong feeling that gives Matthiessen's book its power over the imagination. Here, in an appallingly strange setting, he sets his drama of familiar aspirations and disappointments."Matthiessen, Peter is the author of 'At Play in the Fields of the Lord', published 1991 under ISBN 9780679737414 and ISBN 0679737413.
